Bain & Company

Externs are integrated into CCA project teams, offering a unique opportunity to build public-sector consulting expertise while making a tangible difference in the City. Likewise, the program provides CCA with valuable resources to assist with its critical projects. Applications are accepted each Fall. Applicants must be second-year Associates with Bain & Company.
