Doubling the intern class - and making it all virtual

Cloudflare is doubling its summer internship program this year to support students who may have lost their internships due to COVID-19. The company believes that interns bring new energy and perspectives, contribute to major projects, and help in talent assessment. To ensure a great remote internship experience, companies should provide committed managers or mentors, define projects and goals, create an open environment for networking, and offer visibility and exposure through presentations and meetings with executives. Cloudflare's virtual internship program includes over-communication, proper onboarding, establishing a work cadence, and organizing social activities to foster connections among interns.
