The Summer Analyst Experience
Our 8-week internship program offers you a first-hand experience of what a career in economic consulting looks like. Your program will start with a 3-day orientation that gives you the knowledge and skillset to hit the ground running. As a summer analyst, your role will closely mirror our full-time analysts. You will work in case teams that range in size but typically include a faculty expert, senior consultants, and analysts. You can make important contributions within a case team during all project phases – from developing case strategy, conducting analyses, to preparing experts for testimony. Along with being staffed on case teams, you can engage in leadership and professional training, panels, and team building activities.
