Job Description: Public Services Strategy & Consulting Internship

• Mgmt Consulting New Associate
• Early Career
• Full time
• Amsterdam

Are you a master's student who wants to contribute to strategic innovation and digital transformation in the public sector?

At Accenture Netherlands, you'll work on a wide range of challenges facing government and public organizations, from developing digitalization strategies and improving public service delivery, to analyzing emerging technologies and guiding organizational change. Experienced consultants will coach you in conducting analyses, structuring complex problems, and translating insights into concrete recommendations for our clients.

Your primary focus will be on the public sector, but as part of the broader Health & Public Services (HPS) team, you'll also gain exposure to healthcare projects; broadening your perspective on strategic transformation across both domains.

Duration: 4 to 6 months, starting in February or March.

What you'll do

As an intern, you'll work alongside consultants on projects for public sector organizations such as ministries, government executive agencies, and institutions in the field of justice and safety. You'll explore how public services can be made faster and more accessible, how processes can be redesigned more efficiently, or how digital technology can be applied responsibly.

You'll learn to develop and substantiate strategies through structured analysis. Your contributions may lead to reduced costs, shorter throughput times, improved digital service delivery, or more efficient processes for our clients.

What to expect

Working internship: You'll have the opportunity to shape your own experience and explore your personal interests. You'll contribute to various projects including business analyses, stakeholder and market analyses, support in developing business proposals, and research into client systems and functionalities. You are encouraged to bring your own ideas and initiatives, so you can challenge yourself and get the most out of your internship.

Thesis internship: It is also possible — in consultation with your supervisor — to combine your internship with writing your thesis. You are encouraged to choose a topic that aligns with your studies and adds value to one of our clients. You'll receive all the guidance and resources needed to complete your thesis while continuing to contribute to the HPS team.

How we reinvent

This internship sits within our Industry & Enterprise Strategy practice, where we combine deep sector expertise with advanced technology to deliver 360° value for our clients. You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team working on the future of intelligent public services, leveraging our global network, platforms, and partnerships to bring ideas to life.
