Sunday Hike

It’s time to take your backpack and head to the peaceful nature since Aalto ISM’s fall hike is here. Together we’ll go on an adventure to Luukki’s beautiful nature paths, hike the 8,6km route and enjoy delicious trip snacks.

Read more about Luukki.

We will be going to Luukki with ridesharing, so the number of participants depends on how many cars will be available. You will receive a confirmation on Tuesday 5.10. on whether you have a ride. You can also come to Luukki with public transport with bus 345. Note that with bus it’s your responsibility to be there on time and find the rest of the group.

If you have a car, please consider giving a ride to other eager hikers and announce it on the sign-up form. Car riders who offer rides to others will be compensated for the gas.

During the trip Aalto ISM will offer you soda and hot dogs so no need for your own snacks (unless you want to). You will only need a water bottle, appropriate clothing and backpack. The hike will happen unless there is a huge storm so dress accordingly!

Check out the event on Facebook and sign-up by Monday 4.10.!

BCG Women’s Breakfast

October 1, 2021 at 09:00-11:00 in BCG Helsinki office.

Companies of today face an increasingly complex world with a multitude of priorities, conflicting objectives, and an abundance of stakeholders. At Boston Consulting Group (BCG), problem-solving the most difficult challenges in such convoluted environments is at the heart of what we do. The solutions we develop in strong partnership with our clients transform not just companies but also entire industries – and even segments of society. Responding to complexity requires curiosity, structure, and collaboration skills.

At BCG Helsinki, we would like to extend an invitation to you for a breakfast event on Friday, October 1. The event is all about building the practical skills needed to succeed in your career: during the morning, you will hear BCG’s best practices in problem-solving and get to solve a case example with us. Besides enjoying a lovely breakfast while learning key insights, the event is an excellent opportunity to meet us and ask any questions you might have about management consulting and BCG.

The event is targeted towards University students who identify as women from all fields of study, preferably in their 3rd year of studies and up. Please submit your CV and unofficial transcripts (optional) with your application. Apply by Wednesday, September 22 at the latest. We will confirm your attendance by Friday, September 24.

Due to COVID-19, seats for the event are unfortunately limited, so register soon. We monitor the Government’s guidelines and continuously assess the current situation, and if the C-19 situation evolves, we aim to organize a virtual event.

We organize this event exclusively for women, as we want to continue making consulting more visible to women and find it very important to find talented women for BCG. We hope to answer your questions about this during this event.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Evita Iiskola at Iiskola.Evita@bcg.com.

We look forward to meeting you!

Best regards,
Adelina & Lotta
