Software Student Training in Engineering Program (STEP) Intern, 2025

Google's STEP (Student Training in Engineering Program) internship is a comprehensive program designed specifically for second-year university students, with a focus on increasing representation of historically underrepresented groups in technology. The program combines hands-on software development projects with professional development opportunities, making it an ideal stepping stone between academic studies and professional work.

Interns will work alongside Googlers on real development projects, enhancing their coding skills while gaining exposure to various tools and programming languages. The program features three main components: a hands-on software project, skills-based training, and professional development. Participants will benefit from technical talks by executive Googlers, one-on-one mentorship with Google Engineers, and engage in social activities and networking opportunities.

Google, being fundamentally an engineering company, offers interns the chance to work on projects that impact billions of users worldwide. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, and Social to Local, interns will be exposed to cutting-edge technology and have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects. The 10-12 week summer internship provides a supportive environment for learning and growth, while working on massive scalability solutions and large-scale applications.

The program demonstrates Google's commitment to diversity and inclusion in the technology industry, actively encouraging applications from students who belong to historically underrepresented groups. This structured internship provides the perfect blend of practical experience, mentorship, and professional development, setting participants up for future success in the technology industry.
