Summary

Snyk has launched a Community Outreach Internship Program aimed at increasing diversity and addressing the economic impacts of COVID-19, particularly on women and underrepresented minorities. The program was designed to balance Snyk's growth goals with its social impact priorities, resulting in 15 internship positions being opened, with over 1,500 applications received. The selection process was challenging, but ultimately led to a diverse and talented group of interns who have made an immediate impact on the business. Through this program, Snyk has not only given back to the community but also learned from its interns' passion, conviction, tenacity, and savvy, incorporating them into the company's overall talent strategy.
