This Apprenticeship is for those who have an intention to become a management consultant or employees looking to support their organisations through periods of change. Apprentices might specialise in a particular type of consultancy or industry or remain more generalist. The skills that are developed often lead to employment in organisations within a certain industry, while some consultants who are established go on to run their own consultancy practices.
Employers who are likely to use this standard are:
- Organisations developing internal staff across the organisation to consult on business improvement and support change
- Professional services firms, small and medium sized generalist consulting organisations, as well as boutique consultancies from a range of areas (engineering, HR, education etc.)
- Strategy houses
