Chicago Hiring Consulting Intern 2027

Launch your career like an IBMer

Every IBMer has a story, and for many it started with an internship. As an IBM intern, you will gain experience while learning to think, work, and grow like an IBMer. From day one, you will contribute to real client projects across diverse industries, working alongside experienced IBMers who are invested in your success.

You will be challenged, supported, and inspired, often all in the same day. You will build technical expertise and consulting skills in a culture built on continuous learning, mentorship, and coaching. High-performing interns have a clear pathway into IBM's Associate Program.

Apply only to roles that match your skills and experience, rather than applying broadly across all entry-level positions. You will receive a status update email for each application, so check your IBM Careers account regularly to see which roles you have active applications for.

Work experiences you could be exposed to

• Market Dynamics: Conduct primary research and collaborate with dynamic teams to help clients navigate market trends and refine competitive strategies.
• Operational Excellence: Support operational improvements by designing models for a seamless client experience, improving efficiency and effectiveness in operational processes.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Support workshops, meetings, and interviews to understand and document requirements, working with diverse teams to capture and synthesize essential information.
• Project Exposure: Gain hands-on experience shadowing product teams and enterprise-wide data integrations. Contribute to data analytics assessments and take part in cloud migration and system implementations across major platforms.

Program details

The primary internship program runs May to July 2027 (10 weeks). Interns may advance to the full-time Associates program based on results and performance.
