Groningen Consulting Association

The Groningen Consulting Association is your place to explore and prepare for a career in consulting. Our mission is to provide all students the opportunities they need to boost their professional experience, regardless of experience level.

Inside GCA, you will attend weekly meetings of 1.5 hours that will change topic each week. Meetings will include workshops and hands-on practice for topics including, but not limited to, the following issues:

• Solving consulting cases
• Developing consulting-relevant skills such as public speaking and presentation creation
• Preparing for consulting job applications

Outside of these meetings, GCA will also have several activities throughout the year, such as:

• Company visits where you can connect to industry professionals
• Consulting case competitions against leading universities, where you will represent GCA.

Application procedure:

Applications open January 19th and close on February 6th. We highly recommend applying earlier in the application cycle as we aim to conduct the first few interviews before the application deadline. Applying late may lead to little flexibility with interview scheduling.

For your application, please submit your CV and your cover letter answering questions provided by us after the applications open.

After a review of submissions, you may be selected for an interview in early February. Following this, we may reach out to you with an offer to join GCA. 

Please note:

GCA supports students looking to gain experience from square one. We understand if you lack any professional experience on your CV at this stage.

GCA sits as a committee of EBF, recently brought under the EBF umbrella to better serve students with access to more resources. You must be a registered member of EBF to be a member of GCA (€10 per year). If you are not a current member of EBF, you can apply to GCA and join EBF in the case of acceptance.
