2027 Summer Internship Programme - Corporate & Strategic Functions - Business & Technology Audit

Analytics, Finance, FinTech, Business, Data, Audit, IT.

Our Summer Internship Programme is an eight-week internship taking place June through August.

This programme is designed to provide students with a challenging, meaningful and supportive internship experience that replicates, as closely as possible, the experience of being a full-time BlackRock Analyst. The programme begins with an orientation that offers a thorough overview of the firm and the opportunity to hear from a number of senior leaders.

Following orientation, interns receive on-the-job training and are given day-to-day responsibilities to contribute to their teams throughout the summer. Programming also features a speaker series, mentoring and various networking opportunities, including activities with our employee networks. 

If you enjoy this programme, you should explore our Full-Time Analyst Programme, which you can consider applying to after your internship.
