CGI
Winning Team of The Pathfinder Award
The Pathfinder Award honors the individuals or teams who are boldly expanding the horizon of what’s possible for early career talent. This award recognizes initiatives that help bridge the awareness gap—connecting Gen Z with opportunities they may not have known existed, or may not have realized they were qualified to pursue. Whether through innovative outreach, inclusive programs, or reimagined career pathways, Pathfinder Award recipients are the changemakers ensuring that potential isn’t left on the table simply because someone didn’t know where to look.
The Initiative: Why this Winning Team Stands Out
To be considered for the Pathfinder Award, teams had to describe a standout initiative that helped Gen Z candidates discover what’s possible at their companies. By sharing the goals, execution, and outcomes of their efforts, applicants demonstrated how they’re driving awareness and access to under-the-radar opportunities.
Beyond Recruiting: Authentic employer engagement and career exploration for undergraduates
“Our CGI Campus Recruiting team has developed a comprehensive engagement strategy aimed at connecting with undergraduate students, particularly between their freshman and junior years, to introduce them to our organization and careers in technology and professional services. This strategy is anchored by three core programs that we organize each year. The Student Ambassador Program enlists former interns as campus ambassadors, giving students an authentic, peer-led view into the intern experience and life at CGI. These ambassadors organize unique, campus-specific events throughout the academic year to strengthen our brand presence, student engagement and university realtionships. Our CGI Open House events are hosted each fall and spring, offering all students across the U.S. the chance to connect directly with CGI professionals. These virtual events include panel discussions, roundtables, and interactive activities that provide career advice, insights into CGI’s culture, and opportunities for students to explore potential career paths. Finally, the Consulting Challenge is a two-week team-based competition hosted in the spring designed for freshmen through juniors of all majors, to experience what a career in consulting may look like. Participants work together to develop and present innovative solutions to a real-world challenge on their campus, presenting their ideas to a panel of CGI judges. Together, these programs create a dynamic and engaging introduction to CGI, offering students hands-on experiences, professional connections, and meaningful insights into consulting careers and life at CGI.”
