"I found the cadet program extremely insightful and much more hands on than my past few years at university and have enjoyed getting to know the Hutchies people and culture at the same time. I feel welcomed into the Hutchies community which made the transition from the cadet program and into a team easy."

I am grateful and appreciative to Warren, Harry, and all of the guest speakers for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and kick start my career. I can now proudly say I am officially Hutchified!"
