Professional Services Industry<\/em> Case Study<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n How does a company create a strategy to spark enthusiasm in their apprentice program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our largest global client, a professional services firm, wanted a new learner journey for their apprentices built from a foundation of strategy. They were using traditional learning models, such as classroom-style instruction, and wanted to shift to a consistent, repeatable, and scalable year-long \u201clearn and earn\u201d program that included virtual options. The request within<\/em> the request was for it to present and explore information with spirit and enthusiasm representative of this vibrant, valuable future workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What was Clearpath\u2019s solution?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearpath worked with our client to develop a playbook for what the apprentice program could look like, including suggesting methodology, identifying optimal skills for the role, and determining the best delivery approach. The goal was to create a solution that was flexible, modular, and aligned with existing global initiatives. We delivered an extensive curriculum architecture that addressed any existing gaps in skills\/knowledge, reflected real-world applications, and took an iterative approach so that learning was continual over the course of the year. We also produced a detailed skills framework, by benchmarking current programming against the actual skills required in the roles where apprentices would be placed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What was the client\u2019s response?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The client appreciated the level of detail the proposed strategy offered. They specifically mentioned that the plan addresses the need to create smoother transitions between months, provides a plug-and-play reusable skills-based training framework, and improves the apprentice experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How did this program align with organizational tenets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our client uses a lot of design thinking in their operations, with a focus on \u201chow might we\u201d questions. Our strategy offered a comprehensive solution answering \u201chow might we\u201d implement the apprentice program while reflecting design thinking tenets of human-centered design and iteration. We also modeled our framework on the four primary groups to which the apprentices would be assigned, aligning to their organizational structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What question does your business need to answer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our client knew the key to a new learner journey was strategy.
