**Introduction**

IBM is a global cognitive and cloud company changing the way the world works.

Our consultants are part of IBM Services where we engage with clients across every industry to deliver technology-driven solutions. We cultivate a diverse, inclusive, global team of people who want to pioneer, reimagine and disrupt the future.
Here's where you come in. We're looking for passionate, original thinkers who want to drive progress, grow their network and jumpstart their careers.

You'll learn how we focus on our clients' technical and business needs to co-create solutions that improve their businesses. At IBM, we prioritize ongoing learning, development of technical skills, and continuous personal growth, all grounded in a culture of coaching and mentorship - you'll get exposure to all that and more as an intern.

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate.
