• Meet the Coaches

Overview

• Project topics cover a very wide variety of themes including HR, marketing, sales, operations, procurement/logistics, IT, engineering, finance/accounting, health care and strategy. This gives students the opportunity to explore different career paths.
• Projects are completed over the course of a semester. Students will have a diverse client and project experience the earlier they get involved with CFL. Many students have worked on multiple projects for a variety of clients.
• CFL Consulting is considered an on-campus job. Students work on average five to ten hours per week. Most work is done independently after a weekly team meeting.
• Three or four students are assigned to each project and the team is led by an experienced practitioner coach. Coaches have outstanding credentials and competency. They not only provide leadership to the team, but also provide mentoring and networking opportunities for students.
• Projects end with a formal final presentation. Students are highly engaged in preparing and presenting the final product to the client. Clients are generally overwhelmed at the depth of the report and the professionalism of the students.
• CFL Consulting is a differentiator on a résumé and LinkedIn profile. CFL Consulting alumni report that job interviewers are eager to learn about their consulting experiences.
• CFL Consulting is a unique networking experience for students and the clients. Students can showcase their talents to potential employers. Clients have hired CFL Consulting students into internships and full-time entry level jobs.
