Summer Internship Programme - Corporate & Strategic Functions - Strategic Clients & Initiatives - 2025

The Summer Internship Programme is for candidates in their penultimate year of a bachelor’s or master’s degree, graduating in 2026.

This program 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 program begins with an orientation that offers a thorough overview of the firm and the opportunity to hear from a number of senior leaders.

Following orientation, interns receive on-the-job training and are given day-to-day responsibilities to contribute to their teams throughout the summer. Programming also features a speaker series, mentoring and various networking opportunities, including activities with our employee networks.

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

Important:

Candidates can apply for only one programme (e.g., Summer Internship Programme or Off-Cycle Internship Programme) and up to two functions within that programme (e.g., Investment Research and Analytics & Modeling). You must apply for both opportunities using the same programme application. If you withdraw your application, you cannot submit another application for this programme this year.

Strategic Clients & Initiatives

The Strategic Clients & Initiatives teams collaborate with partners to ensure delivery of BlackRock’s capabilities to our clients globally. These teams drive key initiatives, ensure consistent messaging and coordinate with partners across the firm. Through strategic planning and analysis, these teams act as the “connective tissue” of their businesses, supervise business results, allocate resources, and implement metrics-driven client support.
