Take control and shape your career
Your path to digital mastery starts today!
Programme Overview
RISE participants will choose one of three specialised digital pathways – Business & Data Analytics, Digital Sales & Marketing or Digital Transformation & Change Management – depending on preference and background experience. Common across all three pathways are a set of core business and digital foundational courses that aim to provide a holistic skillset grounded in real life industry context and experience. Unlike traditional university courses and corporate trainings, this programme takes a differentiated, application-based approach to learning. Expect project-based teachings guided by industry practitioners from a pragmatic, hands-on perspective.
Placement Assistance
Successful graduates of the RISE programme will receive Digital BCG Academy Certification and be offered placement opportunities across BCG’s client and partner ecosystem.
