Interns & Graduates

Develop at Ubisoft

At Ubisoft, we want to build the most creative, diverse and inclusive teams, and that's exactly what Develop at Ubisoft is all about: empowering and supporting under-represented genders.

The program provides mentorship opportunities for women and non-binary individuals (students or fresh graduates with less than 2 years of experience), interested in video games to develop their skill set in Game Design and Programming. We want to empower you to learn, grow, and become the very best developer that you can be.

This mentorship program is accessible to aspiring talents in multiple countries, including Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom, where our studios are located.

Join us at Develop at Ubisoft and embark on a transformative journey toward a more diverse and inclusive future for the gaming industry.

With this mentorship, we have an exciting opportunity to support talents from different backgrounds, bringing fresh perspectives and new ideas.
