MBA internships are 6- to 8-week job experiences that usually take place in the summer between the first and second years of a full-time MBA program. MBA internships offer a number of benefits to both students and employers. For students, internships provide an opportunity to develop skills and experience in a new industry or functional role. This is important because MBA applicants consider “career enhancement” and “skill development” to be their top two reasons for pursuing an MBA. Internships can help MBA students “crystallize” their career interests and potentially secure a full-time job offer.

Internships are structured, supervised placements often focused around projects with defined timescales of 6 to 8 Weeks. An internship may be compensated and stipend may be paid. The internship programme has to be meaningful and mutually beneficial to the intern and the organization. It is important that the objectives and the activities of the internship program are clearly defined and understood.
