What is the SVIP?
The Silicon Valley Internship Program gives international Software Engineering university graduates (and related disciplines) the unique experience of working at a tech company in the San Francisco Bay Area through a one-year paid internship.
The aim is that through this experience, each SVIP participant will pick up the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial culture and bring this back to their home community.
