Last week, HANCOCK's 2019 Summer Associates concluded their program with final presentations to the entire firm. These presentations highlighted their achievements, newly acquired skills, and tangible results from the summer. During a day-long retreat, HANCOCK's executives and 40+ team members listened as interns shared insights from client collaborations, internal projects, and technical training (Excel/Access/Power BI/SQL). Founding partner Wes HANCOCK and colleagues engaged with each presenter, offering feedback and questions. The team later celebrated at Steak48, recognizing the interns' contributions and growth. The Summer Associate Leadership Team—Brett Fehr and Emily Brett—extends gratitude to all participants for their dedication. Wishing you success this academic year—you’ll be missed!
About the Summer Internship Initiative:
HANCOCK's Summer Associate Program offers an immersive consulting experience. After rigorous Chicago-based onboarding, interns join client teams as full-time consultants, traveling weekly to U.S. and international sites. The 2019 cohort logged 30,000+ miles across 8 states and 4 countries. Interns deliver value to Fortune 500 clients while honing consulting skills through real-world projects - from $100M+ negotiations to European supplier evaluations and $150M+ savings implementations. These hands-on challenges develop essential capabilities for tomorrow's top-tier consultants.
