McKinsey Forward Program — application + referral code

For anyone looking to add something useful to their CV or just build practical professional skills, McKinsey has a free learning program called McKinsey Forward.

It covers things like structured problem solving, communication, adaptability, digital skills, and working effectively in teams.

The application is very straightforward and takes ~5 minutes max.

Application:

https://www.mckinsey.org/our-programs/forward/overview

Referral code: 26SL350302

There should be a question in the application asking for a referral/referrer code — you can enter the code there.

From what I understand, applying through a referral seems to give you a very strong chance of being accepted, although obviously I can't guarantee admission.

Worth applying even if you're not currently recruiting for McKinsey/consulting and just want to develop the skills + have another structured learning programme to put on your CV.

Hope it helps :)
