The B@K network reflects the cultural growth and diversity of the Kearney offices around the world, serving as a valuable resource for career development and advancement. With a solid foundation, our members receive support throughout their careers with a variety of programs focused on our three pillars:

Recruiting

Kearney seeks to attract outstanding, talented candidates through our multifaceted recruiting eﬀorts. The goal of B@K is to support Kearney with identifying and engaging Black talent. We partner with several diversity organizations and recruit across campuses to identify top talent. In the United States, we host several events to provide candidates with more information about the firm and about careers in consulting. Each year, Kearney hosts two consulting boot camps, one for undergraduates and one for pre-MBA students, with the goals of introducing participants to the firm, networking with Kearney consultants, teaching case interviews, and engaging in live mock interviews. After the boot camps, select participants are invited to interview for Kearney’s Summer Consultant Program or for full-time opportunities.

Professional development

Professional development is a core focus of the network to ensure the advancement of its members. Activities include mentorship, coaching, and training opportunities. Our annual Professional Development Forum is devoted to supporting the career advancement of Kearney’s Black community, bringing our members together to a central location for development and networking. This flagship event connects members with the firm’s leadership, addresses key factors for a successful career, helps our members stay connected, engages Black Kearney alumni, and provides professional growth opportunities.

Social impact

Our network is committed to investing in future Black leaders. To reach the next generation, we offer Student Lab programs at historically black colleges and universities, including Howard University and Morehouse College. This collaborative initiative brings Kearney, our clients, and leading schools together to enhance the education and professional development of future industry leaders. Over the course of a semester, students work together to address real-world business issues from executives at leading companies. B@K also engages with local organizations to support the development and advancement of Black businesses and the next generation of corporate leaders.
