Our FAQ offers an inside look at some of the most common questions we get on the learning, personal growth, and culture that await aspiring Escient consultants. Hit the ‘Ask a question’ button to check out what fellow applicants had to ask, or ask your own unique questions.
Does Escient currently offer an internship program?
Escient does not currently have an internship program. However, the Consulting Insights Series, part of our Graduate Program, is an excellent opportunity for those interested in getting to know us a bit more. This series is open to everyone and provides valuable insights into the consulting industry. It is also a showcase of some of the work that Escient does and allows participants to interact with a panel of our talented consultants.
What does Escient look for in our cover letters?
Cover letters mean a lot to us—it's a chance to let your personality shine through. Our values mean a lot to us, and we want to know what matters to you. We want to get to know the real you, more than just where you've worked and what you know. Tell us who you are and what makes you tick.
I graduated over 12 months ago, am I still able to apply for Escient’s graduate program?
Absolutely! If you graduated in the last two years with a Bachelor's, Master’s, or even a Ph.D. degree, you can apply for our graduate program. If it has been a few more years or you already have significant industry experience, it may be worth chatting with us to see if applying for a Consultant-level role is more appropriate.
What does career progression look like at Escient, especially if I’m starting as a graduate?
After successfully completing our 12-month graduate program, our graduates are promoted to Consultant. We celebrate this milestone across the whole organisation; it's kind of a big deal. After becoming a consultant, there will be an ongoing focus on your individual development and performance, which is supplemented by our Consultant Development Pathways to guide your future development through all consulting levels and technical competencies.
What kind of culture can I expect if I join Escient?
Our culture is at the core of who we are, and we don’t take that statement lightly. At Escient, you'll find a culture deeply committed to achieving meaningful outcomes for our clients, underpinned by a collective desire to shape a better future for businesses and communities. We care about the people we work with, ensuring our workplaces are not just about delivering exceptional results but also about nurturing a supportive and dynamic environment where everyone's contributions are valued and celebrated. We prioritise work-life balance to ensure that personal well-being is not compromised while achieving professional goals.
Can I still apply if I am an international student?
Yes, you can! We take applications from Australian and International students holding graduate visas. Our only requirements are that you have completed your tertiary studies, can stay and work in Australia, and meet the English language requirements set out by the Department of Home Affairs.
