The diversity internship at the University of North Carolina was the first diversity internship I had the opportunity to do. I took an intro to marketing class, a class I absolutely loved. I loved that it was one that was all about marketing. I loved that it was one that focused on marketing strategy, and that it was the first class I had the opportunity to take. It was a class I would never have had the opportunity to take if it wasn’t for the diversity internship.
I had never thought of myself as a marketing major, but I can say that the way I went about learning the craft of marketing was by taking some classes that I enjoyed and applying them to my own personal projects. Not only did I apply my classes as many as possible, but I took classes in marketing that were completely unrelated to the subject matter. I did this to broaden my horizons and to develop skills that I felt would help me in another career.
I also think this internship was just one of many of the many reasons I was able to attend the University of Iowa. The University is known as a leading research university, and the diversity of the students as well as the faculty really made me feel like I was in a different place, from a different time, and that I could do things that I never thought I could do.
Diversity interns are generally hired by companies that want to hire diversity, but in the process are also recruiting into their own hiring pool. For example, Google is only hiring from within the US, so there are few of the more ethnically diverse applicants coming out of the US. A company like Google is only as diverse as the company itself, so they are recruiting only within their own borders.
Diversity Internships are the best way to ensure the next generation of leaders is as diverse as the current generation. The best of the best in the industry are generally not the most diverse, so it’s a great way to ensure the next generation is diverse in just about any way they can. Diverse people can make any company better, so it’s a win-win.
For the past 11 years, Google has always had a problem with recruiting diverse talent. That said, Google recently hired three diversity interns from the University of Texas at Austin. I was curious if they were aware of the company’s hiring practices, but they were not.
Since it’s still not clear whether Google’s hiring practices are to blame for its lack of diversity, we can’t say whether its good or bad for the company to have diversity internships. A recent study found that Google’s diversity policy was actually the third worst out of the large tech companies that were studied. It’s something we can’t judge for sure whether it is good or bad for Google to have diversity internships, but it’s definitely worth mentioning.
Diversity Internships are designed to help make sure that Googles employees are diverse in skills, experiences, and backgrounds. It is not meant to be a permanent part of the search process, but as a way to increase diversity in Googles workforce.
Some of these internships are unpaid. Google has an internship program where they pay interns for their time.
Google has already had their fair share of diversity internships. And we are not the only ones who have noticed that Google is trying to hire more people who look and act differently than the majority of Googles employees. The reason for this is that Google has seen a recent surge of interest from job candidates who want to work in a multicultural office environment.
