Kaiser’s specialized, tested, and trusted approach to consulting make it an intriguing firm to explore for students who are interested in the field of strategy consulting. There are opportunities for students at all levels, from undergraduate to Master’s students. The Summer Associate Consultant internship is an eight-week summer program open to rising senior undergraduates as well as Master’s students about to begin their program. Summer associates work on one to two engagements during their sessions and engage in work like fact-finding and analysis. Interns work at the same level as associate consultants, making the position an unparalleled opportunity for real consulting experience. Successful applicants express a real interest in consulting and are excited to share their high-level academic and extracurricular achievements. Applicants who receive an offer will know by late winter and begin their internship in June.
Kaiser also offers an MBA-specific internship that is a 10-week summer session. A very select number of MBA students get the chance to take on consulting responsibilities for the summer and work alongside the expert Kaiser consultants. Successful applicants “will display mastery in the core consulting capabilities” since consultants usually work in a specific practice. The application to offer timeline is the same as the Summer Associate internship.
Kaiser's Summer Associate program is open to students in their penultimate year of study (typically Juniors, though Masters candidates will be considered) enrolled in a degree program from a top tier four-year college or university in any discipline.
Desired experience includes:
- Academic achievement, demonstrated through challenging analytical coursework and a strong GPA
- Professional work experience that demonstrates the core competencies required of Associate Consultants, including exposure to research, analysis, synthesis, project management, and experiences requiring exceptional verbal and written communication capabilities
- Campus involvement that demonstrates intellectual curiosity, commitment, and leadership
