Microprogram Management Consulting
The Microprogram Management Consulting provides a select group of purpose-driven Telfer undergraduate students with a well-rounded development experience that equips them with the knowledge, skills, competencies, and practical experiences needed to excel in management consulting. Introduced in 2024, the Microprogram Management Consulting is a successor to the Profession of Management Consulting Program (PMCP) that began in 2015.
As a member of the microprogram, you will network with and learn from industry professionals, undertake a consulting project, and receive valuable mentorship from Certified Management Consultants (CMCs/FCMCs).
This microprogram helps meets certain requirements of the Canadian Association of Management Consultants (CMC-Canada) CMC program, which will help you move towards qualifying for the prestigious CMC global designation.
The program was by far the most valuable experience I had during my time at Telfer. The program imparts industry knowledge and cultivates a strategic mindset, positioning students for success beyond the university setting. Personally, the MMP was instrumental in helping me secure a consulting position post-graduation. I highly recommend this extracurricular to anyone curious about consulting and looking for an opportunity that closely mirrors real-world consulting.
