Amazon announces virtual internship program

After e-commerce companies like Walmart and Ola, Amazon has also joined the league by launching a virtual internship program this summer.

The fourth edition of the nationwide lockdown has observed a spurt in the e-commerce sector. No wonder, the overall e-commerce sector already began to show a good sign of recovery in the first week of lockdown 3.0 itself after opening up of multiple services in certain areas. The sector has without any doubt, stepped up to do its bit in curbing the day to day ill-impact of the lockdown. Be it helping millions of small merchants taking their businesses online or delivering regular and essentials commodities at home. Although, there have been some relaxations in operations, it is till advised to avoid stepping out unless absolutely necessary. Keeping this in mind Amazon has rolled out virtual internships to help students amidst these unprecedented times.
