Boardroom Lunch: Consulting
Our boardroom lunches continue to be a popular event for our residents looking to network with industry professionals and potential future employers. Most recently, we held a boardroom lunch catering to students interested in learning more about consulting, an exciting career path that can lead to many different opportunities.

Twelve of our residents joined Phil Burton, Strategy Consultant and Business Coach at Mining Plus and Jordan Lockhart, St Cat’s Alumnus and Consultant at BCG for this casual networking event.
Luke Hanner, a first year resident at the College, came into the Boardroom Lunch with a rough idea about what consulting was, and left with some valuable information about the industry.
“The insights from Jordan and Phil definitely clarified what management consulting was like in a current professional setting. There were ample opportunities for people to ask questions, and everyone did.”
“I gained quite a bit of career advice, especially with regards to studies. I got contact details for both Jordie and Phil and so I definitely feel like I made some good connections from it.”
This semester we have also held lunches for students studying architecture, medicine and teaching. We also have plenty more Boardroom Lunches coming soon, for students interested in law, social work and more. Residents can get in touch with Ashleigh Benadretti, our Deputy Head of College to learn more about networking events, professional mentoring and request a Boardroom Lunch for an area they are interested in pursuing.
“Overall, I think the staff did a great job organising the event, the guests were awesome and I really appreciated it.”
