Who You'll Work With

You'll work in our Lagos office as part of our Young Leaders Programme (YLP). You will be an integral member of our teams and will work directly with clients.
The Young Leaders Programme is a 1-year full-time consulting program designed for recent university graduates from different academic backgrounds interested in pursuing an exciting career in consulting and passionate about working in Africa. This is an internship open to West African graduates who have completed or are yet to begin their country's mandatory national youth service. YLP helps to develop exceptional young local African talent into real leaders.

What You'll Do

You’ll work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of the client engagement.
This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to clients and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. You’ll gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to McKinsey. YLPs receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams.
Following the end of the YLP, assuming good performance, you may be offered a full-time business analyst role with the office.
