Micro-Internships

Dunder Mifflin's Micro-Internship program provides our employees with opportunities to engage college students on short-term, paid, professional projects. While these tasks may not be the best use of your time, highly-motivated college students are excited to exceed your expectations.

Beyond the immediate support, Micro-Internships provide equitable pathways for college students from all backgrounds. Through these opportunities, college students and recent grads gain valuable, professional experiences to help launch their careers.

 

To get started, simply select a project below or complete the form and we'd be happy to answer questions or help you get started. 

 

While this is an example of a portal we build for companies to share with their employees, it is active so you can post any of your projects.

Featured Projects for Marketing

As a Dunder Mifflin employee you can have any of these completed, making it easy to get support and know exactly what your interns are working on remotely.

 

Social Media Content Calendar

Create a social media content calendar with 2 posts per day for the next month. The posts should have a good mix of thought leadership, informational, and promotional content (which we will provide). In addition, we would also like you to curate and interact with social media content as well.

 

Updating Marketing Collateral

Update various pieces of marketing collateral based on a new campaign we plan on launching. 

Social Media Analytics Presentation

Provide a student with data from your social media activities and have them create a presentation to help identify areas of weakness and areas where you can improve. They should also make recommendations as to how you can improve and ways you can implement those changes.
 

Marketing Data Cleansing

Provide a student with a dataset and have them remove duplicates, update outdated records, and ensure there is consistent formatting. During this project, they will work to ensure data quality by verifying its integrity and making sure its completeness is maintained and/or enhanced.

Content Creation

Research and draft a 1,200-1,600 word article/blog on a specific topic we will provide. The article should be consistent with existing articles posted on our website and other marketing channels. Reference at least two outside sources in the article to backup your claims.

Email Marketing Campaign

Develop a series of 3-5 emails to help promote an upcoming initiative. The emails will be sent out sequentially and should play off each other to drive engagement.

Case Study Creation

Develop a brief case study on a recent success we have had with a client that we can use for marketing purposes and partnership reference. We will provide information on the recent success, and would like you to draft a one-pager that highlights the customer's problem, alternatives considered, why they chose to work with us, and the positive impact of their decision.

Market Research

Create a market analysis for a specific industry we will define. As part of this, determine and provide details on existing companies in the space and who we could potentially partner with. In addition, determine trends associated with the growth of the space as a whole (eg number of new businesses founded, success rate, etc.) and key drivers of success or failure. 

What are Micro-Internships?

Micro-Internships are short-term, professional assignments that are similar to those given to recent college grads or interns.

  • Typically require 10-40 hours

  • Have a discrete deliverable

  • Available year-round as needed

  • Provides an easy way for students and recent graduates to gain experience and build relationships with the company

While we were focused on just getting some help on a project, we quickly realized that the student was incredible, and ultimately hired her as a summer intern. We saw her work ethic and skills, and got an inside track on hiring her.

This is the 'anti-staffing firm.' I set the price for the assignment, picked who I wanted, and when I decided to hire her, there were no fees.

Not only did the Career Launcher shine, he excelled. He took the brand to a new level and challenged our group to think outside the box. Could not have been more pleased or grateful for the opportunity to work with this motivated individual. It's all about opportunity and Parker Dewey gives students exactly that. I look forward to our next project!
