Individuals with an advanced degree join ICF International
as Associates. Typically a new Associate joins
an ICF International business group and quickly assumes
an active role on project teams, working on a variety
of projects concurrently.
Working with peers and seasoned professionals, the
Associate assists in developing and defining the scope
of a project, structuring the approach of the analysis,
collecting and analyzing the data, and writing and
presenting the results. After gaining some experience,
an Associate will also schedule work, identify and
resolve conflicting priorities, and supervise junior
staff. Over time, Associates usually develop an area
of special competence, with increasing responsibilities
for project management and client contact.
Qualifications
for the Associate position vary by practice and include
an advanced degree in public policy, environmental
management, economics, business administration, environmental
science or engineering, toxicology, public health,
or the equivalent years of relevant consulting experience.
Additional requirements include exemplary analytical
and communication skills, a general aptitude for policy
analysis, and the ability to think creatively and independently
when faced with a challenging analytical problem.
