As you consider your workforce needs in the coming months, Micro-Internships are an exciting opportunity to engage MIT Sloan talent for short-term, professional assignments.
Micro-Internships are typically 2-4 week projects or internships where students can collaborate with employers on strategy, research, data analysis, or other master's-level business projects that will provide a learning opportunity while meeting a workplace need.

What are Micro-Internships?
Micro-Internships are short-term, projects for internship-seeking students - including our MBA's and MFins - or recent graduates from across our portfolio or programs.
Micro-Internships support MIT Sloan students in gaining experience, while providing you a path for immediate support with your organization's project needs. Micro-Internships can be a useful recruiting tool as well, complementing your campus recruiting efforts.
Typical MIT Sloan Micro-Internships are two to four weeks in length and offer a project that benefits students’ professional growth by contributing to strategic planning, finance, research, project management and product development functions. The summer is a popular time for Micro-Internships: MIT’s summer term is May 28-August 20, 2021.

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.
