The role
We welcome applications from candidates interested in the RGP who possess the skills described in the internship details. The RGP team accepts internship applications on an ongoing basis, onboarding interns as per project requirements. Although there is no fixed deadline for applications, we typically review them at least once a month and strive to respond to all applicants. Those selected for interviews and expressing mutual interest in pursuing an internship will have their details retained for further follow-up. Given the high volume of applications, we are regrettably unable to offer numerous internships. For those not invited to participate in an internship, we will delete their details after 3 months.
