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.
As you consider your workforce needs in the coming months, Micro-Internships offer an opportunity to engage our current students and recent graduates on short-term, professional assignments.
In addition to providing professional work experience and learning opportunities, Micro-Internships can also complement your campus recruiting strategy by providing an opportunity to assess students' skills and quality of work.

What are Micro-Internships?
Micro-Internships are short-term, professional assignments that are similar to those given to recent college grads or interns. Not only is this a great way to support our students, it also provides you with immediate support and complements your campus recruiting efforts.
Typically require 10-40 hours, and can be bundled to create a longer-term experience
Each project has a discrete deliverable, making it easier for companies and Career Launchers to evaluate outcomes
Available year-round as needed
Provides an easy way for companies and Career Launchers to build authentic relationships
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!
The short-term nature makes it easy for you to leverage Micro-Internships, while allowing college students to complete assignments around their schedules.
