DevelopmenT Program

The program includes weekly workshops, mentorship from upperclassman and consulting alumni, local consulting projects with 180 Degrees Consulting, and a case competition culminating at PwC’s US Headquarters in New York City.
CDP mentees engage in a variety of activities such as case interviews, networking calls, and resume critiques to prepare them for the consulting recruitment process.

180 Degrees Consulting Intern
Our 180 Degrees Consulting team is looking for underclassmen interns to gain hands-on experience by joining current client engagements. Three CDP mentees will be selected for this opportunity, which offers a chance to work clients such as the Tri-Cities Opera, NY NeST, and the YWCA.
Interns will be tasked with supporting client engagement initiatives, deliverables, and events. Candidates will have the opportunity to gain experience through real-world consulting projects and refine skills such as problem solving, communication and relationship building. They will develop practical consulting skills, collaborate with an expert team, and receive an accelerated process for MCG’s E-Board interviews.
Ideal candidates are driven, eager to learn, and ready to make meaningful contributions to client success. This opportunity is perfect for those who want to expand their consulting skills while creating positive social impact in the local Binghamton community. Interested applicants should indicate their interest in their CDP application and complete an additional writing sample: "What makes you interested in 180 Degrees Consulting?"
CDP Capstone Case Competition
The Consulting Development Program (CDP) culminates in the Capstone Case Competition, a multi-round business competition where participants apply their consulting skills to a complex, strategy-based Harvard Business Review case. Mentee groups in teams of 5 are tasked with crafting innovative and financially viable solutions, which they present in the final round at PwC’s US Headquarters in Manhattan. Judged by PwC professionals, this competition offers students the chance to showcase their abilities and network with industry leaders, with top performers potentially gaining access to internship or mentorship opportunities.
Past cases include Barnes & Noble, Delta Airlines, Gucci, Trader Joe’s (2023), and Marriott Hotels (2024).
