Google's 2020 Summer Internship Goes Virtual

Google has one of the most coveted summer internships in tech, but this year's interns will be swapping the "Noogler" hats for webcams as the entire program goes virtual, Business Insider has learned. The company will be shifting its summer internship program to an entirely online experience, a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Candidates will be able to attend everything remotely, with many of the usual session replaced with digital versions. Google's leadership team plans to host virtual versions of its traditional "brown bag lunches," and interns will be able to attend various networking events online.
