Infosys's Internship Program, Instep Identified as the Best 'Overall Internship Program' in the World by Vault

Infosys’s flagship global internship program InStep, a fully paid international internship program has been ranked number one in the best ‘overall internship’ category in 2020 Internship Rankings by Vault.com, a career intelligence organization. InStep offers interns an opportunity to work on projects across business units and corporate functions.

Pravin Rao, COO, Infosys, says, “Being recognized as the best overall internship program globally for the second year in a row, underscores our commitment to offer exceptional learning experience to the young talent. This recognition by Vault is gratifying as it is the voice of our interns that has earned us this recognition”.

Recently, Infosys strengthened its InStep program by mapping mentors, buddies and internship coordinators to help over 250 graduate and post-graduate students from 35 nationalities which marked a 90 percent increase from last year’s 130 interns. Interns work on real-time STEM and business projects in digital technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, machine learning and Industry 4.0.
