Our consulting services focus on creating clear pathways for employers looking to build effective apprenticeship programs and support early career professionals. We guide organizations through tailored needs-based assessments, helping them define role-specific requirements for successful apprenticeship implementation. Additionally, we conduct skills gap assessments for EVPs and apprentices, both pre- and post-hire, to ensure they are set up for sustainable success within the organization.

Example Programs:

• Change Impact Awareness Training: This program enables EVPs to recognize and respond to change-driven language during meetings, positioning them as proactive contributors.

• Skills Gap Assessment Toolkit: A hands-on guide designed to help organizations identify and address the specific skills needs of their apprentices and EVPs.

We create content that amplifies the voices and success stories of apprenticeships, skills-based hiring, and workforce development. Our partnerships include co-developing video series, speaker engagements, and comprehensive written guides that educate both employers and EVPs on the benefits of skills-based pathways. This content helps organizations enhance their brand visibility while supporting skills development among early career professionals.

Example Initiatives:

• Video Series: ‘Trust, Impact, and Power’ – Highlights the real-life experiences of EVPs as they navigate corporate roles, reinforcing the importance of skills-based hiring.

• Written Series: ‘Letters from Learners’ – Offers insights into the journey of EVPs, focusing on challenges and successes in the corporate world.

• Speaker Series: Sessions that feature industry experts discussing the value of apprenticeships and trust-building in business.

Our partnership management services are designed to support educational institutions as they establish apprenticeship degree programs. We assist universities in positioning these programs to attract industry partners and effectively engage potential students. By aligning with industry standards, we ensure that programs meet the needs of employers and prepare students for successful careers.

Example Partnerships:

• Apprenticeship Program Development: Collaborations with universities to align curricula with industry requirements, making apprenticeship programs more attractive to both students and employers.

• Strategic Outreach Plans: Crafting marketing and recruitment strategies to effectively position universities in front of potential partners and students. 

Our funding research services focus on identifying and securing grants and financial resources that support apprenticeship programs and workforce development initiatives. We partner with organizations to ensure they are ‘grant-ready,’ helping them navigate the grant application process, adhere to compliance requirements, and make the most of secured funding to create long-term impact.

Example Programs:

• Grant Readiness Partnership: A step-by-step guide for preparing organizations to apply for relevant grants, covering eligibility, documentation, and fund utilization strategies.
