Consulting Internships

Overview

An international consulting internship will provide you with the world-class, analytical problem-solving skills required to tackle the diverse nature of the consulting industry. Our consulting internships provide invaluable hands-on experience in strategizing, operations, project management and HR that cannot be learned from a textbook

Consulting is one of the most competitive, diverse and rapidly growing sectors in the world. As a consulting intern, you will learn from experienced professionals who help companies run profitably and efficiently by providing their insights to improve business processes.

Consulting internships are available in all 9 of our exciting destinations. Please note that Spanish language skills are not necessary in our Spanish-speaking destinations, as the consulting professionals with whom we work have advanced levels of English.

Responsibilities

Conducting research and analysis

In your role as a consulting intern, a significant part of your work will revolve around conducting comprehensive research and analysis. This could involve market research, industry analysis, and competitor assessments, all of which contribute to informed decision-making and strategic planning.

Performing audits to find efficiency-gaining business improvements

Your responsibilities may also include conducting business audits to identify areas where efficiency can be improved. These audits will involve scrutinizing processes, workflows, and operations to uncover opportunities for cost reduction, increased productivity, and streamlined business practices.

Researching and vetting incubator programs to support the growth of entrepreneurship

As an intern, you could be involved in researching and evaluating incubator programs designed to support the growth of entrepreneurial ventures. Your work will encompass identifying suitable programs, assessing their benefits, and providing valuable insights to clients or stakeholders looking to engage with such programs for business development.
