Google and Facebook offer some of the most sought-after internships and jobs in the world. But when career site WayUp surveyed over 100,000 students and considered thousands of employers, they found that it's actually SAP that offers the best internship of 2019. In 2019, the German software company employed over 1,000 interns in 18 cities across six countries and had the highest acceptance rate among interns who were offered full-time positions at the company. "If we equip millennials with the best technology and empower them with permission to be bold, I think we'll watch the next great generation do incredible things," said SAP CEO Bill McDermott in a statement. This is the third year WayUp has ranked internships, and the full list of the 2019 Top Internship Programs includes a wide range of companies, from household names like Google and Facebook, to lesser known organizations like Nashville-based technology insurance company Asurion. Here is the full list of the top internship programs of 2019:

Liz Wessel co-founder and CEO of WayUp stresses that students should consider a wide range of internship opportunities beyond just the big tech companies. "A lot of companies, especially those that are not considered 'traditional tech companies' or 'the big five' or whatever you want to call them, are trying to go from more traditional companies into tech-focused or tech-enabled companies," she tells CNBC Make It. "And I think that this is the most pivotal time for someone who wants to be part of that transformation." Wessel herself interned at Google, and reports "nothing but the best things" about her experience. But she emphasizes that interns may have the opportunity to play a bigger role at a smaller company in transition than they would at a major tech company, where "your role might be for example, to help change a button's position on an app." "Don't get me wrong, that app is going to be used by tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people! But still it might not necessarily have the same impact."
