About the Data and Technology Summer Internship.

If you're curious about how data and technology can tackle real world problems, this hands on summer internship with IBM Consulting gives you the chance to explore both. You'll join a cohort of interns working in small cross functional teams within one of IBM's consulting sectors, where your team will take ownership of a standalone project tackling a real client challenge, with support, coaching and mentoring from consultants across IBM's UK business throughout the programme.

Because IBM's consulting projects are collaborative and fast moving, there is no single fixed role from day one, so you'll contribute in different ways depending on the challenge, the client, your interests and where you can add the most value. Whether you're drawn to analytics, automation, emerging technology, cloud, development or problem solving, you'll gain hands on experience as part of a consulting team alongside exposure to different teams, disciplines and ways of working across IBM.

During the internship, you might:

• explore and analyse data to uncover trends, patterns or insights
• support technical problem solving, testing or automation activities
• work with tools, systems or platforms to understand how organisations use technology
• contribute to coding, development or configuration tasks
• take part in client workshops, agile ceremonies and collaborative problem solving sessions
• help identify ways data and technology could improve processes or experiences
• present findings, ideas or recommendations in clear and engaging ways

What you'll gain:

• hands on experience of a real consulting project from start to finish
• exposure to data, analytics, technology and agile ways of working
• the chance to learn from consultants across different teams and disciplines
• mentoring, coaching and support from consultants, buddies and IBM's early careers team
• a collaborative environment where curiosity, initiative and new ideas are encouraged
• a clearer sense of whether a career in data, technology or consulting is right for you
