What are Micro-Internships?
Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable you to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build your network as you seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 10 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off.
Micro-Internships are facilitated via the Parker Dewey platform, which connects Career Launchers with Companies in need of support.
Parker Dewey Micro-Internships are open to students and recent graduates who meet the following criteria:
- 18 or older
- Currently attending or have recently graduated from a US-based higher education institution or a training program/bootcamp that has established Parker Dewey partnership
- Authorized to work in the United States or have a valid ITIN number
Current students and alumni do not need to have DACA or TPS to apply to Micro-internships. All Micro-internships are structured as independent contract work, which means successful applicants would be hired by Parker Dewey as independent contractors.
