Do you want to gain experience within retail consultancy during your studies? And discover whether consultancy is the right fit? This might be the perfect opportunity for you to do so.
As an intern you will have the opportunity to experience the consultancy profession during your studies. Together we shape the internship assignment. You’ll typically work in teams of 3 – 5 consultants to identify, and/or implement, potential solutions for a specific client problem or challenge. Together with your team members you’ll help clients reach important goals. The clients will often be related to retail, but can vary from a traditional store-chain to a large e-commerce party.
Over the course of the project, you will be collecting and analysing data, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop valuable recommendations. Depending on what the corona-restrictions allow for, you will be asked to travel to your client site.
What will you learn from this experience?
What’s special about joining IG&H is that everybody will do their best to help you in any way they can. Which also means helping you with your personal development, by setting goals and making sure you progress. During your internship you and your IG&H mentor look at your personal and professional development. In addition to your internship assignment, you also participate in our Consultant Development Program. This development program consists of training courses, inspiration sessions and social activities.
Among many other things, you’ll learn to:
• Structure ambiguous problems and make a roadmap on how to solve these problems
• Use both quotative and qualitative analysis to get a good understanding of the company’s situation
• Making sure solutions work out in real life, not just on a whiteboard
• Present information in a way that’s new and understandable for everyone involved
• Become a great communicator
