About the KHCC


Our Mission

The Kellogg Human Capital Club works to educate all Kellogg students on human capital ideas, and industry trends, and serves to support students looking to build a career in the rapidly-growing and evolving field.

Our activities include:

Education: We educate students—whether focused on human capital specific careers, or human capital as a part of a general management role—on the latest human capital trends and ideas. We bring in industry leading speakers from human capital consulting firms, people analytics teams, chief human resources offices, and everything in-between to provide access to a broad range of human capital topics.

Career support: We equip students for human capital careers, through our Industry Preparation Groups (IPGs) for both Human Resources and Human Capital Consulting roles. We help prepare you from resume reviews through interview prep for on- and off-campus human capital positions.

Community-building: We work to foster a community of Kellogg alumni and current students interested in the human capital field and creating long-term relationships.

Collaboration: We regularly collaborate with other clubs on Human Capital events – broadening exposure to HC issues to all those who will be involved in people issues in their future careers.

The KHCC is here to help you understand the variety of opportunities in human capital roles, help you prepare for those internships and full-time roles, and keep you up-to-date on human capital trends to make you a better manager in any role post-Kellogg! Please join the club for information on upcoming activities, or email humancapital-club@kellogg.northwestern.edu with questions or ideas.
