Professional Apprenticeship for Consulting Excellence Program

Are you looking to pipeline top talent into your organization while
mentoring the next generation of consulting leaders?


The Professional Apprenticeship for Consulting Excellence (PACE) Program brings talented early-career professionals with an interest in Federal Government management consulting to your organization and gives them the training, support, and experience needed to quickly become a valued member of your team.

Maximize efficiency and reduce recruiting burdens.

The PACE Program allows you to add new talent to your team at an economical market rate. The benefits are immeasurable, as the apprentices develop over the course of the 25-week session into valued professionals.

Our apprentices are noticeably different.

At M Powered Strategies we understand the value of excellent human capital and know that a knowledgeable, professional staff is an absolute necessity to reaching quality client outcomes. We take the time to match your needs with our candidates, and support their entry into the Washington consulting world.

  • We draw on talent pools outside the typical beltway universities to bring the very best into public sector management consulting.
  • Our rigorous screening process thoroughly evaluates candidates against core competencies that are essential for effective consulting, including writing, presentation, and teamwork skills.
  • We provide professional training and coaching to develop the necessary skills around federal government operations, teamwork, and organizational and project management that directly influence and enhance client delivery performance.
