About the Client Innovation Center (CIC)

IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centers (CICs) are high-delivery, team-based environments where technologists work onsite to build real solutions for real clients.

At CIC, interns collaborate closely with data engineers, data scientists, and consultants to support data platforms, pipelines, and analytics solutions across industries. Our delivery centers are built for learning through delivery, combining hands-on project exposure, structured training, mentorship, and teamwork to help students develop strong data engineering foundations and prepare for early-career technical roles.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy working with data, building systems, and learning how large-scale data solutions are delivered in an in-person, collaborative environment.

In this role, you'll work in one of our IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centers (Delivery Centers), where we deliver deep technical and industry expertise to a wide range of public and private sector clients around the world. Our delivery centers offer our clients locally based skills and technical expertise to drive innovation and adoption of new technology.
