Forward is a free multi-week learning program designed to equip individuals at different stages of their careers – from career starters to job changers – with practical skills to succeed in the future of work, whether they are looking to reskill or advance. It focuses on essential workplace skills that are relevant and transferable across industries and roles. The program is available in more than 130 countries globally.

At McKinsey.org, we are on a mission to share the best of McKinsey to help more people succeed. The McKinsey.org Forward program offers a 10-week learning journey delivered in a digital and virtual format. It begins with building foundational career skills through online courses, case scenarios, and interactive learning events. You will ultimately be able to develop new behaviors through ongoing reflection and practical application.

Participants who complete the Core Skills level will earn a personalized digital badge, which is shareable across social media and other digital channels. At the end of the program, you’ll receive a McKinsey.org Forward digital badge and join an exclusive global network of life-long learners. Application ends on 22nd April, 2025.
