Students in higher education need an avenue to practice and further explore concepts discussed in class in a real world setting. In an ever competitive world, it is becoming more and more important to enter the workforce with unique experiences and strong relationships within their environment. A student consulting group provides a hands on opportunity for students to engage in their community while also gaining leadership experience and broadening their personal network. As a consulting group, there is a large variety of types of companies students can work with - this allows students to expand their knowledge and skills in areas they might not have an opportunity to do so otherwise.

'''Who should you reach out to , for setting up student consulting teams?'''

When starting a group, you should first reach out to 3-4 peers who have a similar interest and passion for starting a group. Ideally, the founding group is composed of students from different backgrounds, majors, and skillsets. While marketing on campus, target students should be to students who are freshmen and sophomores from different majors, backgrounds, and skillsets as well. A consulting group will most likely bring in students from the design, business, and engineering students, but the more variety, the better. Within the university, you reach out to as many relevant faculty and administration members. The more support from internal operations, the more likely the group will be successful. This will also allow awareness of the group to spread more quickly and also increase probability in receiving grants and/or university funding.
