Workshops
IUCG offers a comprehensive workshop series designed to help Junior Analysts (JAs) develop essential skills. JAs participate in workshops covering MBA case studies, industry reports, Excel, financial modeling, research, slide design, and more. In addition to these sessions, JAs meet 2-3 times a week with senior members and the JADP director for tailored guidance. They also have the opportunity to lead weekly lightning talks, sharing their favorite subjects with the group.

Case Interview Practice
Our Junior Analysts (JAs) become expert casers by the end of their JADP experience. With access to dozens of senior members who have aced case interviews and landed roles at top consulting firms, JAs learn from the best in the industry. Through targeted practice and feedback, JAs refine their problem-solving, communication, and analytical skills, setting them up for success in any interview setting. Our weekly casing carousel rotates casing partners, giving JAs diverse perspectives. They may even case each other, gaining valuable insight by experiencing the interviewer's perspective firsthand.

Client Projects
After completing the majority of the JADP, Junior Analysts (JAs) launch into client engagements led by the JADP Director or IUCG’s Project Director. This is where they put their newly acquired skills to work, solving problems and exploring opportunities for clients, ultimately presenting key recommendations at the end of these abbreviated projects. By the end of the semester, JAs are ready to lead their own workstreams on IUCG’s semester-long client engagements, working with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups and non-profits.
Intensive consulting skill development
Junior Analysts benefit from:
Personalized career and professional development support
Personal growth through mentorship, feedback, and team bonding
"The mission of the JADP program is to help students become the best version of themselves. Over the course of this highly intensive, fast-paced 15-week program, students engage in challenging projects, workshops, and professional development experiences designed to open doors throughout their careers. This includes tackling a real-world client engagement and joining a supportive community of mentors with top-industry experience. Those who thrive in the JADP value fun and community building, take initiative and leadership, and embrace continuous growth, especially when pushed outside of their comfort zones."
