Professional Development
Consulting is a great industry to work in if you aspire toward continual learning and growth. Because each project requires a unique solution, the best training comes from hands-on experience and learning from every assignment. In addition, you’ll receive project-related and structured training throughout your career to prepare you for greater responsibility and to develop your career. During your first year at ZS, you can expect to spend at least 20 days in training.
New Employee Orientation (NEO): Initially, all employees participate in a New Employee Orientation that provides information on basic tools, resources and key ZS practice areas.
Following NEO, there are several ongoing interactive courses offered, covering a range of topics. Some of the learning and development sessions include:
Just-in-Time Training: Interactive, informal meetings are offered just before you start a new type of project, so you can immediately put the concepts into use.
Brown Bag Presentation Series: Short, informative and educational, these lunchtime presentations provide a forum for idea sharing and learning.
Skill-Building Courses: Interactive, hands-on training sessions are offered periodically to enhance your skills and show you how to perform your job more effectively.
Expert Sessions: Principals, Managers and Consultants from all of our offices share their expertise in training sessions designed to help you learn and apply the latest ZS strategies and practices.
In addition to group training, ZS works with you to determine individual learning and development needs. You may benefit from participating in an industry conference, completing a college-level course or polishing your presentation skills. Each of those opportunities can be tailored to an individual's situation.
