Your role

As an Associate Consultant Intern (ACI), you'll begin with a week of intensive training led by their experienced consultants—and very similar to the training received by new associate consultants. If you meet their performance expectations, you’ll receive an offer to return full­-time as an associate consultant upon graduating.

After training, you'll be assigned to an active case. Here's a sample of what you can expect to experience and accomplish:

• Work on a case team with three to five other consultants, taking charge of a distinct aspect of the project
• Interview clients' customers, competitors, suppliers, and employers—work that will become the basis of the case team's strategic recommendations
• Own and identify information sources, gather and interpret data, and execute analysis to translate into meaningful insights
• Present your findings to case team members and client stakeholders

Training & development

Their summer internship program for bachelor's degree candidates provides broad exposure to the consulting industry and teaches business strategy through full-­time immersion on a Bain & Company case team.
