Many job titles are called 'mangement trainee' and sometimes accompanied by other descriptions like IT or sales. I notice that some are attachment programmes to expose trainee to various departments but some are just simply IT or sales position. So what does it actually mean?

A true management trainee allows fresh graduate an opportunity to have a glimpse of what the company operation is all about. For example, Banking management trainee allows the person to work on different department to let them have an experience of all different aspects of the operation. This would allow mainly fresh graduate to know which operation or what kind of work he/she prefer. 

However, a lot of companies abuse the term "management trainee" and some hired them to do very basic admin work. From sales coordinator or just helping out in the office. Even worst, some companies use this term to con someone in and do an entirely different job altogether...like selling unit trust, MLM type of business.

So it is important for jobseeker like you to do some research first about the company. Normally, reputable companies do have a good management trainee program. If it is an unknown companies....go to the interview and evaluate for yourself whether it is a genuine management trainee program. Ask them what the position will do. If still in doubt, post it here and we will check it for you.

Perhaps there are real "Manager Trainee" jobs out there, but in the 40 years I have been in the job market, I have yet to see one.

what does management consultant do actually?
management consulting is the practice of helping organizations to improve their performance, primarily through the analysis of existing organizational problems and development of plans for improvement. Organizations may draw upon the services of management consultants for a number of reasons, including gaining external (and presumably objective) advice and access to the consultants' specialised expertise.
As a result of their exposure to and relationships with numerous organizations, consulting firms are also said to be aware of industry "best practices", although the transferability of such practices from one organization to another may be limited by the specific nature of situation under consideration.
Consultancies may also provide organizational change management assistance, development of coaching skills, process analysis, technology implementation, strategy development, or operational improvement services. Management consultants often bring their own proprietary methodologies or frameworks to guide the identification of problems, and to serve as the basis for recommendations for more effective or efficient ways of performing work tasks.
