Thanks to our generous funders, an organization's first three projects, up to the approved project amount, are completely free for eligible participating established businesses, growing nonprofits, and social impact organizations.

The program is designed to connect organizations and companies in the United States with college students while providing students with meaningful, paid professional experiences. Preference will be given to Florida entities.

Beyond the Cap will be open to any of the following:

• Current undergraduate college students residing in or affiliated with Palm Beach County or Broward County and
• Currently attending a two-year or four-year college or university in Florida

First-generation college students who did not previously participate in Scholar CC programs must reside in Florida to apply.

Thanks to our generous program sponsors, this program funds up to three 15-hour projects for participating employers.  Students successfully completing the project will receive $300 per 15-hour project, at no-cost to the host organization.  

The no cost projects will be available until the current funding is depleted or renewed.

The student receives their payment from our partner, Parker Dewey, upon completion of your project through funding provided by the program sponsors.

In short, it’s easy as Parker Dewey handles it all.  No HR burdens. No conversion fees. No questions about ownership or worries about confidentiality.

Employment: Micro-Interns are not your employees, contractors, interns, temps, or freelancers. Similar to working with a consulting firm or any other service provider, you are engaging Parker Dewey LLC to complete the assignment, and each individual you select is a contractor or employee of Parker Dewey. You can still directly interact with them as much or little as you would like, and always have the opportunity to hire them directly without any costs or fees.

Liability: We’re mission-driven and believe in the power of creating opportunities. That said, we take on all the liability. Not happy with the work product? We’ll give you a full refund or find an alternate Career Launcher. 

Work Product: All work product is owned by you. 

Confidentiality: While most projects involve public-facing information of a non-sensitive nature, both Parker Dewey and all Career Launchers sign strict NDAs to protect your information. In addition to the standard provisions, the students understand that any violation of these agreements would risk opportunities for future employment or could be a violation of their school's honor code.

Background Checks: Given the short-term nature and structure of these assignments, we do not conduct background checks. While companies are always welcome to conduct a background check directly, the nature of the specific assignments and lack of a direct relationship with the individual who is selected has caused most organizations to defer the background check until after a Micro-Internship is completed and a student is offered a traditional internship or full-time role.

Micro-Internships can be either on-site or virtual, depending on the specific requirements of the project. We typically suggest remote, as this provides more flexibility and accessibility.

The best Micro-Internships do not require hands-on management to be completed. Beyond the Cap students have core skills and are highly motivated to exceed expectations.

During the Micro-Internship, the project manager—whether a hiring manager, team lead, or another employee—can engage the student however is best including email, Zoom, etc.
