Why should you participate?
* EXPERIENCE A REALISTIC JOB PREVIEW: Aon will present a real challenge organizations are currently facing in a realistic RFP (request for proposal) format. Students will present as if they were external consultants bidding on a consulting project. Solutions will be judged by expert practitioners based on theory, technical merit, and innovation.
* EXPAND YOUR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK: Students currently enrolled in I-O and related programs will be assigned to a group made up of students with varying levels of expertise, knowledge, and from different programs. After students get assigned into teams, everyone is invited to connect with PTCMW board members at a happy hour in DC.
* DEVELOP CONSULTING SKILLS: Teams will be responsible for building an effective team, developing products, and presenting results.
* BUILD COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Each team will present to an independent panel of expert I-O judges and receive invaluable feedback.
* WIN PRIZES: The winning team will receive $1,250, and the runner-up team will win $750. In addition, every participating team will receive free 2018 PTCMW student membership for each of their members, and the top three teams will also win free admission to PTCMW’s 2018 Talent Connection & Networking Event in November, where they will be recognized in front of 200 local I-O academics and practitioners.
