In 2019, Unilever, Mando, Airbus, Sysdoc, Chester Zoo, PwC, Santander, Open Programmatic, Deal Moon, Decathlon, Rad Wraps, Hays, and Totem learning all took part in the challenge and worked with our students. During the challenge students have access to a consultancy expert and benefit from workshops such as ‘developing consultancy skills’ and ‘pitching an idea’.
