Women’s Internship Program Switzerland

Fancy a taste of consulting while learning from your own personal mentor and benefiting from personal communication-skills training at the very same time? Then apply for this exclusive internship program and start with us in Spring or Summer 2026!

With us, your resourcefulness will be required from day one. You will be part of a project team and work directly with clients on exciting tasks that will truly make a difference. But this is not the only experience you will gain. During this exclusive internship, a woman experienced consultant from the Swiss office will be there for you as your personal mentor during your time at McKinsey and give you individual coaching. Furthermore, you will benefit from personal communication-skills training and discover tips and tricks for life not only as a consultant, but also on a personal level. In ten to twelve weeks, you will learn a great deal about consulting and working on a client team and get a strong start on your future career.

More details

Opportunity

Interns at McKinsey experience firsthand how a corporate consultancy firm operates. As a “temporary consultant,” you will be a full-fledged member of this project team during your ten- to 12-week internship program. You will work under real conditions, on site with clients, to devise concrete solutions to actual problems companies are facing today. Your opinion and your initiative will be called on from day one.

After the successful completion of the program, interns may receive a job offer from McKinsey. If you are not in your final semester of your studies, you’ll be given the option to stay in touch with McKinsey via events, personal mentoring, and future networking opportunities for both new graduates and those with minimal career experience.

Training

Effective communication is a critical ingredient for a consultant’s success, regardless of their role. So, as you’re gaining on-the-job experience as a project-team member, you will also receive in-house training from experienced consultants to build your capabilities in top-down communication, storytelling, and presenting with impact.

After this training, you will be able to communicate in a more structured, engaging, and confident manner. This training is only available to interns who submit a successful application by November 30, 2025.
