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.

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!
