Internships at OC&C offer a real insight into the world of strategy consulting for students in their penultimate year of study.
From day one, you will be helping tackle the most exciting strategic problems in consulting today. Your primary role as an Associate Consultant intern is to support the delivery of strategic advice to clients. You will provide professional advice to the senior management of major international corporations and deliver the analytic modules assigned.
To make sure you are fully equipped, you will receive a week-long induction where you will have training in the consulting skills needed for you to succeed and you will also be taken through real project examples.
The role
Over the eight weeks you will work on multiple projects, giving you an opportunity to meet more of our consultants and try your hand at a broader range of tasks. Whether conducting field research or analysing data, you will be able to add your own insights and value to the team. Working in small teams means you will have exposure to all parts of the project you work on and a chance to work closely with our Partners. There will also be opportunities to socialise and network outside of your project team.
The Internship takes place for 8 weeks during the months of July and August.
