Unlike traditional internships, micro-internships allow college students and recent grads to be a part of project-centered experiences that are short-term and paid.  Busy professionals are able to get some work load off their plate and college students/recent grads are able to gain experiences while getting paid.  However, how do micro-internships affect both companies and early-career talent down the road?

Typically ranging from 5 to 40 hours of work, micro-internships are available year-round and could be taken remotely.  This becomes a perfect opportunity for students with busy and chaotic schedules to gain work experiences from professional projects that will help prepare them to enter the work environment.
