Springboard
Since 2018, our Springboard programme has given young people from all backgrounds access to work experience, mentorship, and support from our diverse teams of experts. Working together in small groups, the students devise ingenious, technology-led solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
Springboard has now provided more than 300 young people in the UK and the US with an opportunity to experience consulting, develop essential skills, and find innovative ways to speed progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); the 17 global targets to promote peace and prosperity while protecting our environment.
Ingenious solutions devised by student teams have ranged from nutrient packed infant formulas to decrease child mortality to a ceramic water filtration device for areas affected by humanitarian disasters.

I absolutely loved every minute! As each day went by I felt a boost in my confidence and now have a much clearer understanding of the world of work.”
Throughout the week, I was able to find out more about what consulting actually is and what a career in it could look like. Not only that, I was able to meet so many fantastic people and make friends that l remain in contact with after the programme was completed.”
Springboard has really thrown a spanner in the works. I thought I wanted to be a journalist and now I just really want to be a consultant.”
It really opened my eyes to the ways of problem-solving. I will be able to then use these skills in other parts of my life.”
