Our intern program kicked off on May 24, with the arrival of five new BTI360 interns. After holding our internship program virtually last year, it feels great to have this year’s interns back in our Ashburn office. Interns bring so much life, energy, and fun to the company. We love having them here!

2021 is the 11th year for our internship program. Every year we are so impressed by the quality of the students we meet as we recruit. We have another great group this year, and we are excited to help supercharge their growth as engineers. They’ve just finished two weeks full of workshops and training on the technologies we use the most, and they are already rolling on their engineering project for the summer.

Please welcome the intern class of 2021!
