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.
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.
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.
Adding new leads is always important, and college students are excited to help. Through their research, you will get a target list with key information that will allow you to find and prioritize prospects so you can focus on closing.
Getting all of the information you need prior to outreach or a meeting is valuable, but time consuming. Let a college student provide you with the key insights on your prospects so you can get them over the finish line.
Receive details on the size of a target market and details on existing trends within the space. This could include insights around new proprieties coming to market, companies that are growing quick, or other key data.
Whether you need data aggregated or filtered, contact records merged and de-duped, or data cleansed and appended, you'll receive a reviewed and corrected version of data from a highly motivated college student or recent grad.
Not only is it vital to ensure that your KPI reporting is current, but the data can provide insights that might otherwise be missed. College students can help you harness the raw data so you can focus on the strategy to leverage the insights.
Reviewing AR agings, reported credit data, and public news about customers is time consuming, but provides an early warning for potential risks. Fortunately, there are thousands of highly motivated college students who can help.
While SEO can be key to driving traffic, the constantly changing market makes it difficult to optimize. Instead of spending your time doing the research, a college student can get the data to help you get the most out of SEO.
With a never ending technology backlog, spending time on documentation may not be the best us of time for programmers. Now you can have a college student help, while also getting insights into his or her tech skills.

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!
