Microsoft consistently recruits at HBCU-focused events and offers multiple student tracks. Explore Microsoft targets first-/second-year SWE talent, while the Global University Internships hub covers PM, data, design, and research. Pair an Explore summer with campus hackathon wins and you’re well-positioned for a return offer later.
Programs to watch: Explore Microsoft (12-week US, early-ID SWE) and Global University Internships (PM, SWE, data, design, research).
Tips: Ship something. Link a public repo or app with a clean README; add a short Loom walkthrough so reviewers see impact fast.
