Purple and red background with text 'Talent Match: Connecting Loughborough talent with business'

The new Talent Match Consultancy Programme is a great opportunity for current students and 2025 and 2026 Loughborough graduates to gain graduate level experience, working directly with employers on a real business challenge in a consulting team.

Loughborough University is offering the chance to participate in a paid three-week, virtual consultancy opportunity starting late August. You will work as part of a consulting team to undertake a project for a real start-up, small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) or non-profit based in UK. Your team will receive a project brief and collaborate to understand your industry client’s context and present your findings and recommendations in a professional report. 

The opportunity is remote and will respond to a real business challenge. There are several themes to choose from: 

  • growth strategy 
  • sustainable impact 
  • investment strategy 
  • user experience 

The programme is a fantastic way to gain some real-world experience, grow your professional network, receive industry feedback, and access supportive content and tasks through a gamified learning platform. 

Applications are made via Target Connect and will close on 9 August.
