Corporate & Strategic – Human Resources – 2027 Summer Internship Program

Corporate & Strategic – Human Resources – 2027 Summer Internship Program Overview

This internship is part of BlackRock’s 2027 Summer Internship Programme for the EMEA region. It is an eight-week summer placement running from June through August and is intended to give students a demanding, meaningful, and well-supported experience that closely reflects what it is like to work as a full-time BlackRock analyst. The programme is built to combine orientation, practical training, direct contribution to team work, and access to learning and networking opportunities.

Programme overview

The internship begins with an orientation session that introduces the firm in depth and gives interns the chance to hear from senior leaders. After that, interns move into day-to-day team work and receive on-the-job training so they can contribute meaningfully throughout the summer. The programme also includes a speaker series, mentoring, and a range of networking opportunities, including activities with employee networks. If the experience is a strong fit, interns are encouraged to consider applying for the Full-Time Analyst Programme after the internship.

What you will do

• Join an eight-week summer internship from June to August and take part in a programme designed to mirror a full-time analyst experience as closely as possible.
• Attend an introductory orientation that provides a broad understanding of the firm and includes sessions with senior leaders.
• Receive practical training on the job and take on everyday responsibilities that support your team’s work.
• Contribute actively to the team during the internship rather than simply observing.
• Take part in programme events such as speaker sessions, mentoring, and networking activities.
• Engage with employee networks and use the programme to build connections across the firm.
• Explore the possibility of moving on to the Full-Time Analyst Programme after the internship if you want to continue with BlackRock.
