Pro bono consultancies

Question

Hi, does anyone know if there are any pro-bono consultancies that engage students outside academic terms? Or the ones which have longer engagements than the length of academic terms? Ideally, the ones that are accepting applications at the moment but this would be a luxury. It is just harder to be involved during the terms when the workload is naturally higher, hence why asking. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hi Alexander

agree with the other coaches here - Internationally, 180 degrees consulting + Impact Consulting are two of the more known ones. Would start with those.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hey,

So there are a couple you can check. But finding them in ‘non-academic’ semesters would depend on the projects that are there.

The ones I know of are:

1) ShaRE consulting

2) 180Degrees consulting
3) ImpactHub

Also, your program will have consulting clubs taking on projects

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

Hi Alexander,

Take a look at Impact Consulting and 180 Degrees! I’ve had candidates who have worked with both of those groups in the past.

Answer 4

Hi there!

Lots of great answers below.

I'd just recommend that you also reach out to the careers service at the University. It's a resource that is often underutilised by students but can be a gold mine.

Tell them what you'd be interested in doing and ask them for advice. They should have an overview, potentially a list, of such opportunities in your region.

Best,
Cristian
