Internships

The Summer Internship is core to our mission to deliver leadership talent to the market by ensuring that our participants apply the latest in international business training to companies and businesses, working on projects that deliver real value to their companies. We believe in the importance of practical experience and this mindset is integrated throughout the entire MBA program from the Consulting Cases, the MIT Immersion, the Summer Internship to our leadership development and career management approaches.

Employers who participate in our summer internship program are able to leverage the prior professional experience and aptitudes of our participants. This strategic partnership can help an employer stay ahead of their competitors by enabling them to integrate a stream of new ideas, cultural competencies, and business practices into the workplace.

Guide for Employers:

All Lisbon MBA International Program participants are required to complete a challenging internship that allows them to leverage their international business skills to support a company’s initiatives/projects. The internship lasts 8 weeks and companies are encouraged to support projects in any of their business locations.

Benefits of Hiring an Intern:

MBA Interns bring prior work experience, professionalism, and enthusiasm to your company and provide a valuable and reliable source of talent. They are motivated to learn about your company and bring new skills and tools to complete projects. MBA Interns hired as full time employees upon graduation are already familiar with your company. This accelerates employee performance, productivity, and engagement with internal/external stakeholders.
