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.

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