The HBS Global Initiative is anchored by a team based in Boston with more than 70 staff sitting in key regions around the world to contribute to the school’s global strategy and research. We play a critical role in the School’s efforts to build a deep understanding of and expertise in global business practice and innovation. Each summer we host Harvard College interns to assist with the research and non-research activities of these teams. This provides students a wonderful opportunity to learn about both the work of Harvard Business School and business issues in a particular region.
Internships will be fully funded with stipends depending on country and whether the opportunity will be in-person or virtual. Please see details below and note that application deadlines may vary by location.
