Learn more about our Female Mentorship Programme
A unique development opportunity for female students with an interest in strategy consulting
FEMME, our female mentorship programme, was created to elevate women by offering support, guidance and encouragement while they are building the foundation of their career. It also aims to motivate women by creating a network of ambitious, like-minded women with an interest in strategy consulting.
2026 Programme
Over the course of this five-month programme, participants will focus on three core themes: personal development, career, and consulting. Together with an experienced mentor, you will work on a personal learning goal linked to one of these themes. This programme stands out for its customised, highly personal approach to your development.
As a mentee, you will also be appointed a buddy; someone who is currently enrolled in our Analyst Programme. They can share their experiences and help prepare for (case) interviews.
During the programme, you will expand your network and skills through social activities, workshops and events —giving you the opportunity to connect with our (female) colleagues and other ambitious women with an interest in strategy consulting.
Events
As a FEMME participant, you will join a variety of events focused on personal development, career, and consulting. Examples include:
- Core values training – Discover and define the values that drive you
- Consulting knowledge session – Gain an in-depth understanding of our work and the impact we create
Next to our exclusive FEMME events, FEMME mentees have a guaranteed spot at all of our recruitment events. Each year, our Amsterdam office organises multiple events for students and young graduates. Our events include an informative element, as well as lunch, dinner or drinks to get to know our Analysts, Associates and Consultants on a personal level.
Why did we introduce FEMME?
As one of the very few female founded consulting firms, Eden McCallum has diversity and inclusion at its core. With over fifty percent of our leadership being comprised of women, we are eager to encourage young women to enter the world of strategy consulting and remove the barriers that are preventing them from applying.
