2025 Work, Reward & Career (WRC) Consulting Graduate Programme, London

at  WTW

QUALIFICATIONS AND TRAINING

We have a focused 12-month training programme for graduates, which is called FAST START. FAST START is designed to give you an insight into our business, and help you develop the consulting, practical and technical skills you need to succeed at WTW.
We continue to invest in our people, and you will have regular opportunities for training throughout your career with us – both on the job and through more formal classroom sessions. Consultants are not required to have a particular qualification; therefore, the wide variety of external qualifications we do support are determined by the needs of the business and the individual’s interests.

THE REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum 2:1 degree in any discipline

As a WRC graduate, you will work as part of a team on a wide variety of complex projects, serving as a key resource for the consultant in charge of each of your engagements. You will be encouraged to develop as broad an understanding of our client solutions as possible by supporting across multiple, complex projects. You will have immediate exposure to real client assignments, which will draw on your imagination and creativity, as well as your ability to analyse data, draw conclusions and present results. These experiences will help build your technical knowledge and overall industry experience while you benefit from more structured learning interventions.
As you grow and gain more expertise, you will become a key contact for the client and gradually begin to take responsibility for deliverables and client relationships across a range of sectors and geographies. You will work alongside some of the industry’s top consultants on cross-industry client projects, including many household names: FTSE 100 and 250 clients, privately held companies and public service organisations.
