ACI/FORVIS Micro-Internship Project by Parker Dewey
Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments similar to those completed by new hires or summer interns. However, unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and projects are due between one week and one month after kickoff. Micro-Internships enable career launchers (college students and recent graduates) to demonstrate skills, explore career paths and build their networks as they seek the right full-time role. They are used by companies as large as those in the Fortune 100, or as small as emerging start-ups, and they extend across departments, including sales, marketing, technology, HR and finance.
To help raise awareness of micro-internships among students attending ACI's member colleges and universities, FORVIS LLP will sponsor ACI | FORVIS Micro-Internship Scholarships for students attending participating schools. Students from each participating school that apply for at least four micro-internships or secure one micro-internship by Saturday, Jan. 31, 2023, will be eligible for this scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be selected by financial aid staff at participating campuses between Feb. 6 and March 1, 2023. For more information, please contact Daisy Gomez, director of scholarships and events at dgomez@acifund.org.
Students from ACI member colleges and universities not participating in the ACI | FORVIS Micro-Internship Scholarships can apply for micro-internships at any time. Micro-internships are facilitated via the Parker Dewey platform, making it easy for companies, schools and students to benefit from the program, as there are no administrative barriers.
For Students
As a college student or recent grad launching launching 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 Member Schools
Micro-Internships enhance placement rates and help students find the right jobs as they demonstrate skills and explore career paths across various fields, industries and disciplines. In addition, Micro-Internships provide a new way to nurture ongoing relationships with alumni, and build relationships with prospective employers.

For Companies
Regardless of your role, industry, or organization size, ACI students and recent grads 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 on-boarding, no problem. If you just need some immediate help on projects because you or your team is overloaded, we’ve got you covered. Learn more in this webinar replay!
