Eli Lilly will organize a networking lunch for 35 students from the Class of 2026 to get to know you better and network. They are coming to recruit for their Summer Internship Opportunities.

The Summer Internship job posting will be available on Symplicity on January 28th.

Before registering, its essential that you review the positions, geographical locations, and language requirements that were shared in the Heathcare Channel, on Teams.

In addition, Lilly has significantly increased their capacity for summer internships this year. That said, they are making their summer internship program the primary pipeline for providing full-time offers. If they are able to convert enough interns into full-time offers for students post-graduation, they will not be posting any more opportunities at IESE this year. Instead, they will reprioritize their time to meet the new class.

If you want to pursue a long-term career with Lilly, we highly encourage you to apply for the internship, as this is the best way to secure a full-time offer.
