Twitter's role is for people to gather from all over the world to see what's happening, and to have a conversation about what they see.
We are proud to serve the public conversation so we can help increase the accessibility and velocity of a simple, free and open exchange of information. Twitter is a place you can help make something happen which is much bigger than you. As a new grad or intern, you'll have the support you need—and the responsibility—to make a difference.

Internship Program
When you log into Twitter, you’ll likely see a feature shipped by one of our interns. All of our interns have a hand in building a product that’s changing the world — whether you're in engineering, design, marketing, or legal. You’re given the freedom to take risks and the ability to use your knowledge to solve challenging problems.
Our internship program is a 12-week experience in the Fall, Spring, or Summer for students to fully immerse themselves into our culture and work alongside our teams. All interns receive a manager, mentor, feedback sessions, and engaging projects to make an impact. We host several educational, developmental, and social events for exposure to the organization, executives, and Business Resource Groups (BRGs). #LoveWhereYouIntern
University Diversity Initiatives
Twitter is where inclusion lives. It’s where movements form, information is shared and change happens, all in real time. The world has seen this with conversations around #BlackLivesMatter, #SheInspiresMe, #LoveIsLove, #OrlandoStrong, #BlackWomenDidThat, and many more. We are focused on that spirit of inclusion in our workplace.
In effort to embrace and encourage inclusion, we offer multiple interactive on-site events for historically underrepresented students in tech. Attendees will participate in hands-on technical workshops, professional development seminars, meet with senior leaders, engage with our Business Resource Groups (BRGs), and explore career opportunities at Twitter.
