Parker Dewey Partner Office Hours

Parker Dewey has partnerships with colleges and universities across the United States.  Parker Dewey also partners with non-degree education programs including bootcamps, workforce development organizations, nonprofits and other training programs.

Projects completed through Parker Dewey are available to international students who are either affiliated with one of our partner programs, or those attending a US-based college or university. In both cased, the student must have approved Curricular Practical Training (CPT), Optional Practical Training (OPT), or other work authorization.

Current F-1/J1 international students are instructed to contact international student support staff at their institution to confirm their eligibility to work before they apply to projects, ensuring compliance with internship requirements and USCIS regulations.

Each school has different requirements for academic credit including the length of time and project requirements. Parker Dewey is happy to share this data with schools after project completion for credit consideration or Parker Dewey+ subscribers can access this data on-demand.

Due to the on-demand nature and availability of Micro-Internships, we do not allow universities to require participation in Micro-Internships, but instead, offer this as one of many opportunities for students to gain professional experience. We make no guarantee that students who have created a profile and applied for a project will be selected for an opportunity.

Alumni are eligible to complete Micro-Internships as long as they wish after completing their academic program. Typically after a year or more of professional experience in one’s target field, these opportunities are no longer of interest, but Parker Dewey does not delete Career Launcher accounts unless the individual requests us to do so.

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.

Since the students are contractors or employees of Parker Dewey, it’s simple for schools, easy for companies, and safe for students.  

Micro-Interns are not employees or contractors of the school so there is no need to structure internal processes with HR, legal, payroll, etc.

Micro-Interns are not employees or contractors of the client company making it much easier for companies to participate. Since there are no HR, payroll, or legal burdens, professionals within any role at a company can provide these opportunities to your students,

Students can be confident they’ll be compensated and receive appropriate documentation without the need to worry about getting paid or stress about accounting documentation at year-end.
