Parker Dewey Partner Programs

Parker Dewey has managed programs ranging from $5,000 to $1M+.  These programs can be structured based on your goals and budget. 

For example, a $10,000 program can support:

• 18 different students completing 20-hour projects or
• 36 students completing 10-hour projects.

This spend includes paying your students upon completion of the Micro-Internships.  The students are working as independent contractors of Parker Dewey, and we provide them with a 1099 if needed.

Some of the many reasons that educational institutions choose to partner with Parker Dewey on a program are:

• Funding directly goes to students and not through your payroll:  Many schools have shared that it is challenging to place students on their school's payroll, particularly for a small project.  We also hear that this makes the funding accessible to students who may have barriers to being able to do paid work on or off-campus (e.g. undocumented students or international students).
• Quick and easy to implement: Parker Dewey-managed Micro-Internship programs do not require IT integration or data sharing from the school and can be ready to launch in about a week.
• Flexible schedule: Some partners choose to promote their program year-round while others will focus on specific times of the year (e.g. Winter Break)
• Low lift for your team: With Parker Dewey handling the day-to-day management, you do not need to field questions from students, employers, and other stakeholders.  You just share it with the contacts that  you wish, and we take care of the rest.

Micro-Internship programs can be funded by a variety of sources, but the most common include funds earmarked for institution-specific initiatives, donations from alumni or employer partners, or grant funding.

If additional information about Parker Dewey programs or a proposal would be helpful in your efforts to secure funding, reach out to schools@parkerdewey.com to discuss your program goals and get support.

Parker Dewey+ is Parker Dewey's newest partnership option allowing for on-demand access to key data such as:

• Student signups and projects selected
• Employer signups and projects posted
• Feedback students have received from employers
• Proxy access to view student profiles and applications

A one-year subscription to Parker Dewey+ is included in all Parker Dewey-managed programs of $10,000 or more, at no additional cost.

For additional questions, please schedule a time to meet with the Parker Dewey Partnerships Team. 

We look forward to brainstorming possibilities, share case studies, and learn how we can potentially collaborate to support your students and other institutional goals.
