Government Consultant Courses

Government consultants are independent professionals who provide advisory services to politicians and government agencies including federal, state, and local governments. They are specialists in their field of expertise and often play a leading role in the development of public policy and public works programs.

As a government consultant you could be meeting with a senior official to inform them of an important industry development, preparing a detailed written proposal, networking with industry leaders and peak industry bodies, or developing a timeline for an upcoming public project.

It’s an extremely demanding profession and you’ll need outstanding communication, personal presentation, and time management skills.
