McKinsey is proud to support our alumni. In addition to our career resources, events, webcasts, and directory – we are excited to pilot a selected set of Firm learning courses to our alumni. These on-demand e-courses center on fundamentals such as communication and problem solving. Although this initial pilot represents only a small sample of the Firm’s learning resources, we hope you may find this content useful as a refresher for yourself, perhaps as you coach and mentor colleagues in your current role. We are working to make more resources available to you in the future.
Please note: We recommend viewing these courses on a laptop rather than a mobile device. Some courses contain internal Firm links which will not work for alumni.
