Breaking into Consulting: LightCastle Partners Hosts Career Session at BRAC University

On February 11, 2025, LightCastle Partners hosted an engaging session titled Breaking into the Pulse of the Consulting Industry to provide students with insights into a career in consulting. As consulting is still a relatively nascent field in Bangladesh, many students have limited knowledge about the industry and its potential as a promising career path. To close this gap, LightCastle Partners took the lead in expanding students’ knowledge of consulting and showcasing the exciting opportunities it provides.

The session was facilitated by  five representatives from LightCastle Partners. It began with a “Year in Review” presentation, aimed at giving students an insight into daily life at LightCastle. This segment offered a detailed overview of LightCastle’s  activities and projects from the past year, setting the stage for the rest of the event.
