IESE Business School

Taking place between the MBA Program's first and second years, the Corporate Internship spans for a maximum of 14 weeks starting mid-June.

Goals
The Internship is an integral part of the MBA Program and its primary goals are the following:

• Help the company solve a particular business problem and get to know a prospective full-time candidate, assessing his/her profile and fit in the company.

• Enable the student to learn about a new industry or company and apply the knowledge gained from the MBA Program.
  

Projects
The projects carried out by our students during the internship are focused on solving specific business problems or performing studies using the knowledge acquired in the MBA Program and their previous experience. For example:

• Organizational problems such as restructuring and function definition.

• Analysis of certain business areas.

• Market surveys for the company or its customers.

• Implementation of new systems: management systems, cost systems.

• Assist management in areas such as new products and new markets.

The Internship enables the company to address projects and issues that may otherwise be postponed due to lack of time or adequate personnel.  The task must be clearly defined beforehand by the company in order to obtain genuinely useful results.

Compensation
Corporate internship salaries vary according to the work experience of the student involved and the type or duration of the project. Hence they should be directly negotiated between the student and the company. Any expenses associated with the project (travel, food, accommodation, etc.) are covered by the company.
