How you grow into a fully fledged consultant
As a consultant at AFAS, you independently advise clients and help them organise their processes more intelligently. This requires substantive knowledge, insight into business processes and strong advisory skills.
That is why you start with the Traineeship Consultancy. During this period, you learn step by step how our software and processes work in practice and how to apply that knowledge to genuinely help clients move forward.
As a trainee, you support clients with questions, think along about processes and help organisations use AFAS software optimally. You dive into the content, but you are never on your own. You work together with colleagues, such as consultants, product specialists and developers. This way, you get guidance where needed and freedom where possible.
Phase 1
- You pick up client questions and learn to set priorities.
- You get to know AFAS, our software and our clients.
- You work along in practice and follow targeted training, both for the software and for soft skills.
- You learn how to give advice and align expectations.
Phase 2
- Your knowledge grows, so you think along at a higher level about client questions.
- You deepen your knowledge of consultancy projects and practise with implementation challenges.
- You take on increasing responsibility.
- You present ideas and learn to substantiate choices.
How you help our clients further
After the traineeship, you work as a consultant together with clients on setting up and improving their processes. You take on more complex challenges, conduct conversations with clients and translate needs into solutions that work in practice.
You share your knowledge with clients and colleagues. And yes, you keep learning, growing and making an impact.
The focus of the traineeship is on consultancy, but with the knowledge and experience you gain here, you could also optionally work as a First Class specialist, service manager or product specialist.
A week in the life of a Consultancy trainee
And once I've completed the traineeship?
We already love your energy! Then you are a fully fledged consultant. You will support our clients with major challenges. With both solicited and unsolicited advice. You ensure that our clients can work well with the software and you gladly share your knowledge. You are then in charge with all the consultancy skills you have built up. You communicate what we stand for. Indeed: you are then an inspirer yourself.
