Abstract

Goldman Sachs runs an annual internship for over 3,000 participants, spread across dozens of the firm's global offices. In 2020, the team brought all its resources to bear to transform the internship program into a fully virtual format in just a few short weeks. The new all-virtual internship faced challenges, but also benefited from unexpected opportunities. As the program ended, the team reflected on what worked, what they would change, and what the future of the internship program at Goldman Sachs could look like in 2021 and beyond.
