Qualifications

The Blackstone LaunchPad program seeks to hire individuals who work well in a team-driven environment, are highly-motivated, intelligent, have sound judgment and have demonstrated excellence in prior endeavors. 

To be considered for the 2027 LaunchPad Program, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Currently enrolled as an undergraduate student

• Anticipated graduation date: Fall 2028 – Spring 2029

• Resume must include expected graduation month/year and GPA

• Resume must be in PDF format

The 2027 LaunchPad Summer Analyst Program is an experiential program. An experiential role is designed to provide valuable knowledge and does not have the opportunity for an offer of employment at the conclusion of the program. Blackstone can never guarantee an offer of employment following the completion of one of our programs. Being selected to participate in this year’s LaunchPad Summer Analyst Program does not preclude applicants from applying to other opportunities with Blackstone.

If you do not meet these criteria, please see Blackstone’s Careers website for other opportunities that may be available, including other entry level positions.
