They will help you to get started, provide support with questions about day-to-day consulting and work with you to write your individual development plan. We value a steep learning curve and regular feedback. Your individual development plan is therefore evaluated at least twice a year.
In addition, we offer in-person training each month to dive into industry, internal, and current topics to continue learning and strengthen our client strategy.
