What Are Micro-Internships?

Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are posted by employers across industries and across the country. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships are posted on a rolling basis and can take place year-round. Projects typically range between 10 and 40 hours of work and are often due between one week and one month after kick-off.

 

Micro-Internships are facilitated via the Parker Dewey platform, which handles all of the administration and support.

 

If you have any questions regarding your account, please contact support@parkerdewey.com.
