Our program
You will join either EY-Parthenon's Associate Program (for undergraduates) or our Consultant Program (for MBA or Life Sciences PhDs). (Some may be interested in one of our specialized tracks within these two programs.)
Our generalist model
At EY-Parthenon, for both our Associate Program and Consultant Program, the most common way to join is through our generalist model. We believe central to becoming a transformative business leader is your ability to develop a well-rounded strategic skillset. Accordingly, an EY-Parthenon career gives you a diversity of experience across sectors and engagement types at the start of your career. We give our people the space to explore and gain exposure to a variety of opportunities.
As your career progresses into the more senior ranks, you will naturally begin to focus on the sectors and/or areas of the business that best align with your passion and interests. As we say, it is your career to build!
A holistic approach to learning
Our holistic approach to learning is a three-prong system which enables us to meet a person’s individual needs on their journey to becoming a successful business leader. Those three areas include:
- Formal training
- Individual and community mentorship
- On-the-job apprenticeship
