Have you heard of Micro-Internships before? No, they’re not really microscopic. They’re actually professional, paid, remote short-term project-based assignments that allow students to gain experience in their field! Better yet, you can complete a virtual micro-internship, too. Benefits of a Micro-internship include an opportunity to gain professional experience and explore careers from wherever they are located. They, too, can assess their fit with the organization to determine their interest in longer-term opportunities with the organization. Also, students are paid for their work which, while always beneficial, can be particularly helpful for those who may have depended on or off-campus jobs, work study, or other employment which may no longer be available due to COVID-19.
Parker Dewey supports college-to-career transitions in a way that helps you right now. Their Micro-Internships program connects students to our diverse network of companies and organizations to take on professional, paid, remote project-based short-term assignments year-round. Unlike traditional internships, these paid opportunities typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, can be completed year-round, and help students develop career skills while getting paid.
