Paid Internship: Google Paris Summer Trainee Engineering Program, STEP 2018

Deadline: January 3rd, 2018 at 11:59pm GMT.

Google aspires to be an organization that reflects the globally diverse audience that our search engine and tools serve. We believe that in addition to hiring the best talent, a diversity of perspectives, ideas and cultures leads to the creation of better products and services. At Google, we don’t just accept difference – we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products and our community. Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or veteran status.

Google is invested in increasing the number of future computer scientists and software developers, particularly those who are historically underrepresented in the field. Many aspiring computer scientists could benefit from a program that bridges the gap between academic study and a professional internship; Google wants to inspire students to continue in the field with such a program. The 2018 Summer Trainee Engineering Program (STEP) internships in Europe aims to do just that, and is now open to students who have completed the first or second year of their university studies by summer of 2018 and are studying Computer Science or related subjects
