Core Consulting Group
Who We Are
Core Consulting Group (CCG) is a student-run consulting organization and part of a broader network of consulting groups across California community colleges, with major chapters at USC Marshall School of Business and UC Berkeley Haas School of Business.
CCG goes beyond a traditional consulting club by providing students with opportunities to gain real-world experience in finance, economics, data analysis, strategy, and business problem-solving through hands-on projects and professional activities.
As a student community, we value initiative, creativity, and teamwork. Built by students for students, CCG fosters an atmosphere where motivated individuals learn by tackling real challenges faced by companies, start-ups, and organizations, seeking for values beyond the classroom.
Founded in January 2026, the team has grown to over 60 ambitious individuals collaborating to make PCC's CCG the platinum standard of professional development and growth in Pasadena City College.
What We Do
Selected members take on strategy consulting engagements with real companies, nonprofits, AI startups, and local businesses over 8 to 10 week team projects. They gain hands-on experience in data analysis, strategy development, and operational problem-solving along with client relationships, acquisitions, and professional marketing. Recent and current clients include Goodwill, Coco Robotics, Sarasyn AI, Dionysus Creative, City of Pasadena, and Kulturas.
