What we offer

Program

Your mentor, whom we refer to as your CDC, will help you get started. Your daily work routine will consist of a good balance between working at the client’s site, in the zeb office or from home. Ideally, you’ll set off for your project and get a taste of consulting on the first day of your internship. Your field of activity will vary depending on the project. Based on your previous experience and your major fields of study, we will find the best match for you. During the internship you will be a temporary consultant and support the project team as a full member—with all the rights and responsibilities and on an equal footing.
During your time at the client’s site you—like all other project members—will receive work packages to work on. Your tasks include, for example, helping to design and document client workshops, researching and analyzing various topics and creating presentations. As time goes by you will take on more and more responsibility. In addition to the project, you may also be involved in sales or innovation topics.

Salary and annual leave

In Germany, we pay you a gross salary of currently €2,150 per month—regardless of whether you are doing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. At our other European locations, salaries are in line with market rates. In addition, you will get two days of vacation per full month of internship.

Benefits

Exchange ideas with others who are currently doing an internship or have been working at zeb for a longer period. For this purpose, we organize events and get-togethers for interns. In the offices, you can make new friends at the football table at any time or network with everyone in the office over a beer after work on Friday. Special highlights include the zeb-wide events zeb.Uni and the Christmas party. Here, zeb staff from all locations meet in Münster to exchange knowledge and celebrate together.

If you speak English and the national language of one of the following countries (at C1/C2 level), you can also do an internship here:
