We’re excited to announce/remind you of an opportunity for our students and recent graduates to take part in short-term, professional, paid work experiences through Parker Dewey Micro-Internships.

Through these short-term, paid, project-centered experiences, our students and recent graduates can demonstrate their skills, explore career paths, and expand their professional networks. Unlike a traditional internship, these paid opportunities typically range from 10 to 40 hours of work, and are deadline-driven as opposed to set during specific hours - perfect for those with erratic or hectic schedules!

Micro-Internships are a great way for companies to outsource work for short-term projects, while providing students the opportunity to apply skills learned in the classroom.

Not only does this help the companies across various industries and departments who are looking for the skills our students and graduates possess, but it also allows our students to build real-world experience. Additionally, by engaging these companies early in their college careers, our students can make themselves more experienced and appealing candidates for future internship and career opportunities.

Please encourage your students to learn more online, create a profile, and begin applying. We also welcome you to attend an informational webinar that will review the details of how Micro-Internships work as well as resources for helping you spread the word. These include:

Sincerely,
