For Students & Recent Grads
When you are building your career, Micro-Internships provide a tremendous opportunity. Not only can you explore different career paths and work on interesting assignments, you can also demonstrate your abilities to potential employers while building your professional portfolio and network. Beyond that, your academic experience will improve as you apply what is taught in the classroom to the real world (and vice versa). Oh, did we forget to mention that you get paid for all of this?
For International Students
Our micro-Internships are only available to US citizens or international students with approved Optional Practical Training (OPT) or a work visa. For eligible Dickinson students, pre-completion OPT is available after completing one academic year of study, requires a formal application process that can take 3-6 months for processing/approval, and counts toward the 12-month OPT allowance (thus deducting from the total amount of time available for post-completion OPT). If you are unsure about your eligibility, contact Dickinson’s International Student and Scholar Services (intl@dickinson.edu).
For Prospective Employers
Regardless of your role, industry, or organization size, students from Dickinson College can help. If you want to expand your recruiting pool to access diverse talent with 21st century skills and the grit to succeed, Micro-Internships make it easy. If you want to improve the effectiveness of your hiring efforts and lower the costs (and risks) associated with onboarding, no problem. If you just need some immediate help on projects because you or your team is overloaded, we’ve got you covered.
For Alumni
Micro-Internships provide a new way for alumni to connect with current students. Give your time and expertise back to our community while showing students how their classroom experiences connect to careers.
