What is Development Squad?
Development Squad is the training program offered to VBC members. It is run in trimester 1 and 2 of each year.
Development Squad is a five-week long program in which teams do cases each weekend. People stay in the same team for the duration of the program. Each week, our head coach offers advice on how to improve both during preparation and presentation. We also run training workshops to develop key skills needed for case consulting. Example workshop topics include PowerPoint, Excel and Presentation.
At the end of each Development Squad, a top team is determined by a panel of external judges. This team is awarded the Berkers Shield, in honour of our previous head coach Hayden Berkers.
