About the role

IBM offers an internship program in Chicago that blends hands-on client project work with structured mentorship and continuous learning. You’ll contribute to real client projects, build a compelling portfolio, and gain insights across multiple industries. As an intern, you’ll benefit from coaching and opportunities to advance to a full-time Associates program based on performance and results. Strong collaboration, initiative, and a growth mindset are highly valued.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
