Not hard to accept management graduates for a consulate (7)
I believe the answer is:
embassy
'a consulate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'not hard to accept management graduates' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'graduates' could be 'bas' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'bas' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for embassy that I've seen before include "Where an ambassador lives or works" , "Diplomatic organisation" , "Diplomatic building for ambassadors" , "Overseas mission" , "Foreign Office" .)
