We’ve also produced and shared tons of resources to help our managers and teams - and these tools will be available to you too! - Will I still get to experience Twitter culture?
Yes! We are working hard to ensure your virtual internship program incorporates aspects of the unique and fun Twitter culture by giving you a taste of what it is like to be a Tweep. - Will there be a chance to meet other Twitter interns
Yes! @TwitterU is planning virtual programming that will allow you to connect with Twitter Interns from around the globe. - Will there be a chance to bond with my team? With other Tweeps?
