• Demonstrated experience working with or preparing documentation for government or regulatory audits, ideally apprenticeship-related
• Ability to independently assess programs and propose structured solutions
• Microsoft Word required
• Consultant will provide their own equipment and software licenses

The ideal consultant is:

• Highly self-directed and efficient
• Skilled at interviewing technical stakeholders
• Able to translate regulatory requirements into clear operational guidance
