Career development
Our approach to career development is unequalled by any other top-tier firm.
Working closely with the best
Our business model delivers a high level of interaction
with the firm's Principals. Our low leverage model means that you
can expect a unique level and quality of on the- job mentoring,
coaching and feedback. This more than anything will contribute to
your rapid professional development.
Our training: tailored, flexible and ongoing
Like all top-tier firms we offer structured training and
induction programs. We believe, however, that there are three
critical factors which set our training apart:
Tailored: Our formal training programme has
been specifically developed to equip you to be an effective
consultant and to support your on-the-job learning. This includes
practical sessions led by our principals, seminars with leading
practitioners and courses with external institutions;
Flexible: As a small firm Port Jackson Partners
can offer flexibility in its formal training. Identified
development opportunities can be catered to with a range of formal
training options as and when they are required;
Ongoing: In addition to the formal training
programme, you will find that our small, collegial group of
principals and consultants is always open to questions and
available to offer assistance when you require it.
Further development opportunities
We have a number of formal programs designed to offer our team
the type of high-quality experiences that can further accelerate
their development. We offer our best performers the opportunity to
develop skills and confidence, as well as to broaden their life
experience, through:
- Financial support to study overseas for an MBA
or other higher degree
- Assistance to secure an attractive secondment
overseas
- Financial support to pursue a pro bono
placement, including with international organisations
offering offshore placements
During their development at Port Jackson, many of our
consultants have studied at the world's best learning institutions,
including Harvard, Wharton, Columbia and INSEAD. Our consultants
have a strong reputation at these schools, often performing at the
top of the class.
A personalised program
Finally, each new consultant is paired with a development
leader, a firm Principal, who works to ensure that your career
progression is on course and to provide pointers and advice to help
you reach your full potential. Your development leader is there to
help tailor our rigorous and extensive development opportunities to
suit your exact needs.
