EY and Civic Consulting Alliance have collaborated on more than 10 projects since 2009, providing millions of dollars in pro bono value to public sector clients. In recent years, a Vice President and a Consultant from EY each spent several months as part of Civic Consulting's team as externs, capturing a unique opportunity to build public-sector consulting expertise while making a tangible difference in the city.

Specifically, the EY externs participated in projects addressing regional transportation and public safety, including:

  • Defined framework to guide operations of the revamped Chicago Infrastructure Trust, including criteria to select projects
  • Defined the Chicago Police Department’s 2017 framework for reform and provided broad program management support for the Department in executing its wide-ranging reform efforts

I know this perspective will be valuable as I return to EY.”
