Micro-Internships

What is a “Micro-Internship?”

Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, project-based assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. Participating in micro-internships helps you explore different career paths while building your portfolio, expanding your network, and developing your skills as you seek the right full-time role.

How does a Micro-Internship work?

Participating in a micro-internship is easy: Create a Parker Dewey account (less than 5 minutes!), browse the paid projects posted by a variety of companies, select a project and apply.

Benefits of Micro-Internships:

• Signing up is fast and free! Visit the Parker Dewey website to get started
• Work on paid projects that only require a short time commitment (5 – 40 hours within a week to a month)
• Explore different career paths and work on interesting assignments
• Demonstrate your abilities to potential employers and apply what you’re learning in the classroom
• Build your professional portfolio and your network

Considerations:

• International Students – Need to qualify and be approved for OPT (even for the short duration)
• Undocumented Students – Must have DACA to participate. Students who do not have DACA are encouraged to visit Career Pathways to learn about other opportunities.
