Intern - Springboard Women Internship Program

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You've come to the right place.

YOUR IMPACT

You'll work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of the client engagement.

You will gather and analyze information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You'll also present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.

You'll gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. You will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on your teams. This support includes a partner from your local office or practice assigned to you to help guide your career as well as formal training in your first few weeks.

Additionally, you'll receive guidance and support from your local office in the selection of client projects, helping you develop your skills and build your network. Interns who successfully complete the internship program may be offered a full-time return offer.

You'll work in our Zurich or Geneva office for ~10-12 weeks. You'll be a part of a client project team, collaborating with colleagues and our clients to solve their toughest business problems.

During this exclusive internship program, an experienced consultant from the Swiss office will be there for you as your personal mentor and give you individual coaching. Further, you will benefit from personal communication skills training and discover tips and tricks not only for life as a consultant, but also outside of your professional life.

The program is aimed at women - undergraduate and postgraduate students - who have shown that they are capable of being extraordinary, at university, work and beyond. The program is fully transgender and nonbinary inclusive. It is just one of our many worldwide initiatives aimed at helping individuals get to know McKinsey better.
