World Food Programme

Fight global hunger by working on funding and distribution projects for the World Food Programme (WFP). Improve your problem solving skills, and grow personally and professionally.

On May 7 - 12, 2017, The Boston Consulting Group, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), is organizing the WFP business course in Rome. Together with 24 other ambitious students, you are offered the chance to contribute to the WFP's objective: fighting global hunger. In a team supported by BCG strategists, you will join forces to develop and improve WFP projects on, for example, distribution strategies and alternative funding plans.

Program
After a briefing in the Amsterdam office, you will depart to a country house near Rome. During the week, you will visit the WFP headquarters for an introduction session before getting to work with your team. After four busy days, you will present your findings to a selected board of the WFP. Throughout the week, you will be coached in your case work as well as your personal development by experienced BCG consultants.

Selection
Only 25 students can participate in the business course. Based on the applications, you may be invited for an interview. The interviews will take place on March 2, 3, 9 and 10, 2017. Please note that the business course is conducted in Dutch.
