What this internship is about
Join our consulting team for the summer and help organisations improve the way they work. This internship focuses on strategy, transformation and delivery, giving you the chance to work on real client challenges within a fast moving consulting environment.
You’ll join a cohort of interns working in small cross functional teams on real client challenges within one of our consulting sectors. Supported, coached, and mentored by consultants from across the UK business throughout the programme, your team will take ownership of a standalone project, exploring ideas, solving problems and adapting as the work evolves.
Because our projects are collaborative and fast moving, there isn’t one fixed role from day one.
Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute in different ways depending on the challenge, the client, your interests and where you can add the most value.
Alongside your project work, you’ll gain exposure to different teams, consulting disciplines and ways of working across the IBM organisation.
Whether your interests are in business strategy, transformation, operations, agile delivery or project management, this internship offers hands on experience working as part of a consulting team.

- Present findings, insights or recommendations in clear and engaging ways
- Your experience will vary depending on the project, giving you the opportunity to learn from different people, approaches and ways of working.
