The Young MCA - Is your firm involved?
Earlier this year, the MCA launched a new group called ‘Young MCA’.  This networking group has been formed for those in their early careers as a consultant who now need to start networking and enhancing their business development skills.  There is no age limit!  The mission of the Young MCA group is to contribute to the enhancement and development of the UK management consultancy industry. The central objective of the group is to stimulate networking and the sharing of best practice among young consultants in MCA member firms, with a fundraising element where possible.   This is another MCA member benefit.
