Skill Overview

This Apprenticeship is a brilliant way to gain new practical and professional skills, on-the-job training, nationally recognised qualifications and earn money at the same time. This Apprenticeship course is also available to those who are employed and want to upskill in the workplace. Management consultants provide business advice to the public, private and not-for-profit organisations. This usually involves helping them solve a challenge of some kind, such as how to grow their business, how to make it more efficient or how to organise and structure itself in a different way. Some specialist consultancies have a particular focus – for example, how to write proposals for new work, how to change an organisation or how to develop their workforce. Others are more generalist and you could work across several different types of projects. Working on a client site away from your office is a possibility, while hours are varied and often depend on the project.
