What are the responsibilities and job description for the Strategy Consultant Intern 2027 – Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) position at IBM?
Introduction
Launch your career like an IBMer
Every IBMer has a story. For many, it started with an internship.
As an IBM intern, you won't just gain experience - you'll start thinking, working, and growing like an IBMer. From day one, you'll contribute to real client projects across diverse industries, including analytics, AI adoption, generative AI, and agentic AI-enabled transformation, working alongside experienced IBMers who are invested in your success. You'll be challenged, supported, and inspired, often all in the same day. You'll develop 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, launching careers at one of the world's most innovative technology and consulting companies.
To give yourself the best opportunity for success, we advise applying only to roles that align with your skills and experience, rather than applying broadly across all entry-level positions. You'll receive a status update email for each application, so be sure to check your IBM Careers account regularly — it's the best way to get a centralized view of which roles you have active applications against.
Your Role And Responsibilities
During your internship, you can build data science and AI skills by contributing to client projects that use statistics, machine learning, data science, GenAI, and agentic AI solution patterns. This role provides an opportunity to build a compelling portfolio, acquire new skills, gain insight into diverse industries, and contribute to client-ready analytical and AI solution components with guidance from IBM teams.
At IBM, we prioritize continuous learning, skill development, and personal growth within a culture of coaching and mentorship. As an intern, you'll strengthen technical, analytical, and consulting skills while learning responsible AI practices, and you could advance to our full-time Associates program based on results and performance.
