What is a Micro-Internship?

Micro-internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. Often, these projects require 20-40 hours of total work across 2-4 weeks and can be completed remotely. They are posted on a rolling basis and can be applied to year-round.

Why a Micro-Internship?

  • Reduction of HR Cost and Attrition.
  • The opportunity to audition potential talent.
  • An opportunity to complete “shelved” projects.
  • A format that lends itself to remote work.
  • Project based internships are a great way for students to take advantage of spare time to set themselves up for success.
  • Unlike traditional internships, these paid opportunities typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and can be completed year-round.
  • Students have the possibility of incorporating a paid project with a class assignment.
  • Students can learn and hone the skills employers look for when recruiting for full-time positions and build their resumes with practical experience.
  • Students can explore new industries and potential career paths while working on a paid project.
  • Students can build tangible relationships with you – many employers use micro-internships to connect with potential interns and full-time hires.
