Calling all upcoming college grads: Do you love entertainment? And how technology makes it easy for people to discover and enjoy it? And want to work with some of the brightest minds to shape *the culture*? Then check out Netflix’s [New Grad](https://jobs.netflix.com/new-grad-program "Netflix New Grad Program Job Site") program.

In this new program, recent college graduates are hired into full-time roles at Netflix and participate in a year-long program to build their network and professional skills. The roles are based in the U.S. and span teams like data and insights, creative production, with most of them in engineering (for now!).

For years, Netflix mostly hired people with many years of experience. Not anymore. As we wrote in our [culture memo](https://jobs.netflix.com/culture "Netflix's Culture Memo"), Dream Teams are about performance — not how senior you are or how long your career is. We want to do a better job of fostering players from the development leagues so they can become the stars of tomorrow. That’s where you come in.

You’ll work on projects alongside seasoned Netflix employees that will be experienced by millions of entertainment lovers around the world. And you’ll also participate in programming to help you build connections and on-the-job skills, including technical education (for engineering roles), professional development sessions to support your career growth, and fun activities for you to build a sense of community with other New Grads, your teams, and other Netflixers. 

But unlike programs at other companies, you will get to experience the magic of Netflix’s [culture](https://jobs.netflix.com/culture "Netflix's Culture Memo") of transparency, high performance, compassionate feedback and flexibility. We’ve also developed personal development workshops to help New Grads thrive in their first job out of college — like “How to Navigate Imposter Syndrome” and “Personal Finance Fundamentals.”

The first cohort of new grads just started this month (pictured below on their first day), and [we’re hiring](https://jobs.netflix.com/new-grad-program "Netflix New Grad Program Job Site") for the next cohort to begin in summer 2023.

![Netflix New Grad Cohort (Number One)](//images.ctfassets.net/i5wc420v2vd1/5XaxlHyLMYyZPtdVcXLPSU/2743727c79e6ca17de3928bd31899aa6/IMG_9197__1_.jpg)

This is just one example of how we’re building a strong pipeline of emerging talent and inviting new perspectives into Netflix. We also offer [12-week summer internships](https://jobs.netflix.com/intern-program "Netflix's Internship Program") where participants work on similar impactful projects and a [technical bootcamp](https://netflix.2u.com/ "Netflix Pathways Bootcamp landing page") for current college students to learn technical skills like Java, data science, or UX/UI design.

Throughout my career I've benefited from programs like these that have shaped who I am today. I see myself in a lot of early-career talent, so I'm immensely proud that I can play a role in creating opportunities for them. So if you’re looking for your first full-time job after college — consider Netflix as a place to start your career!

This past Sunday, Netflix was named as a recipient of the [Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award](https://nfb.org/bolotin "Information on the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards") by the [National Federation of the Blind (NFB)](https://nfb.org/ "Website for the National Federation of the Blind") for our work in Audio Description (AD) and overall contribution to accessibility in entertainment. This moment is especially important given July is Disability Pride Month and the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On a personal level, it’s a humbling culmination of my short time at Netflix and nearly ten years of academic and professional work on audiovisual translation.

![Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award Win Picture](//images.ctfassets.net/i5wc420v2vd1/5NMcVna2vWQsVRqrY4FsjL/da7ff43571cee70ce3e8dd176c8e34f8/IMG_8203.jpg)

For those who do not know, [Audio Description](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_description "Wikipedia page for Audio Description") is a separate narration track that describes what is happening on screen, including physical actions, facial expressions, costumes, settings, scene changes, on-screen text and subtitles, all key elements that would otherwise be missed by a blind or low vision viewer. As Chris Danielsen, Director of Public Relations at the NFB, describes: “a shared culture strips away one of the barriers that separate blind people from the rest of society. Netflix is helping us participate in that shared culture because it gives us equal access to video programming that is enjoyed, discussed, and debated throughout our society”.

My own personal path to Audio Description began in 2012 during my Master’s Degree in Audiovisual Translation, but it’s only when I joined Netflix in 2018 that I finally got to actively work on it. At the time, there were a few individuals at Netflix like [Erica Kram](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericakram/ "Erica Kram's LinkedIn profile ") championing accessibility initiatives. I was deeply inspired by them. I saw that as an opportunity to put my passion and experience to work. I focused on our Audio Description guidelines, continuously improving them through direct feedback from the blind community and advice from external experts.

As my team grew in size, so has the impact we’ve been able to make. We have found that by having a core team internally – to provide feedback on Audio Description narrators’ casting decisions and how things are being described – has led to a better Netflix experience for our members, according to feedback we’ve heard from the community.

We are not done; this is a work in progress. Over time, we will continue to update the Audio Descriptions guidelines for our series and films. [Recently, we also announced](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/celebrating-global-accessibility-awareness-day "Netflix's blog post celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)") that we are offering accessibility in more languages – starting with Spanish, Portuguese, and French – totaling 20 languages. And we’re expanding Audio Description and Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH) to more titles.

![Stranger Things 4 Screening at NFB's Annual Conference 2022](//images.ctfassets.net/i5wc420v2vd1/sUqXh4FaS3z286csNDiCO/a1edcaace80fc6f40eee11da5fcfcfa9/IMG_7609.JPG)

Inside Netflix, we have the best people (in my opinion!) championing Accessibility, including [Heather Dowdy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherdowdy/ "Heather Dowdy's LinkedIn profile") who recently joined our team as the first Director for Accessibility at Netflix, along with a growing community of employees engaged in making the company and our product more accessible (shout out to the Accessibility@Netflix ERG!). As [Emily Magilnick](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-magilnick-756740b6/ "Emily Magilnick's LinkedIn profile"), who leads the Accessibility@Netflix ERG, continues to say, “You don't have to have a disability to care about accessibility,” and this is exactly the change I’ve seen happen at Netflix. Countless people are working behind the scenes to improve the experience for members who use assistive technologies.

We want to deliver more inclusive and accessible entertainment to the world – through exploring new technological innovations and working with the industry, disability communities and policy makers. Hearing that we’ve done a good job from the community who benefits most matters deeply to us. This award affirms that we’re on the right path – and is an added motivation to keep up the work.
