Google probably has a secret direct consideration program for college internships that you don't know about, and I think it's run by its Campus Outreach team. Several of my Instagram followers who attended Cultivate x Amplify events from Careers OnAir by Google got a special email with instructions on how to be considered for Google's Summer 2026 Software Engineering Internship application. It seemed like Google recruiters could apply on behalf of these students if they had updated profiles, but you'd only know about this if you saw my IG stories and reels on this topic. If you want to be in the know on other corporate events that can give you an edge in the 2026 tech internship hunt, turn on your IG story notifications now! Shoutout to my followers who don't gatekeep. #computersciencemajor #googleinternship #googlestep #sweintern #cs #techinternship
