While most workshop graduates accept positions with consulting firms, the skills learned and friendships made in the workshop are valuable, whatever career path a member may choose to pursue.
Workshop application and admission
Any second year Kelley student and who has not been and is not a member of another Kelley Workshop—is eligible to apply.
There is no one formula for admission to the Workshop. In general, we look for characteristics that are similar to the ones for which many consulting firms look—e.g., analytical ability, leadership, teamwork, other interpersonal skills, impact, integrity, etc.
Applications generally are due by the end of January. The exact due date can be found on the Consulting Workshop website as we get closer to the end of the year.
Application decisions are communicated when the interview process is completed, typically by the beginning of April. The exact timing will depend on the number of applications received.
The application process kicks off with an information session in January. Details of the time and place of that session can be found on the Consulting Workshop website as we get closer to the end of the year.
Workshop time commitment
To be in good standing in the Workshop, a Workshop member must show a commitment to attending any required meetings and required networking with employers within the consulting field.
