Local know-how
What to know before you go
Consulting in Kazakhstan
Consulting in Kazakhstan follows the country's economy. Kazakhstan is generally described as the largest economy in Central Asia, and energy and mining sit at its center, with oil a major export. Consultants advise on projects in these industries and in finance, and on how companies adapt as the economy diversifies.
Kazakhstan also has an unusual legal setup in finance. The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) has its own court, whose procedural rules are modeled on English common law. Language at work is mixed: Kazakh is the state language, Russian is widely used in business, and English matters for international work. We look for host companies where English is used at work, so you can see how teams move between languages. As an intern, you might help with market research, data and slides for client meetings, and your tasks depend on your host company.
