For Career Launchers
When you are launching your career, Micro-Internships provide a tremendous opportunity. Not only can you explore different career paths and work on interesting assignments, you can also demonstrate your abilities to potential employers while building your professional portfolio and network. Beyond that, your academic experience will improve as you apply what is taught in the classroom to the real world (and vice versa). Oh, did we forget to mention that you get paid for all of this?
For International Students
Projects completed through Parker Dewey are available to U.S. citizens or international students with approved Curricular Practical Training (CPT), Optional Practical Training (OPT), or other work authorization.
If you are a current F-1/J1 international student at University of Rochester, you will need to confirm your eligibility to work before you are able to apply to projects. It is strongly advised to contact University of Rochester offices - Greene Center (career.center@rochester.edu) or the International Student Office (questions@iso.rochester.edu) to discuss potential eligibility. These resources will help you make sure you're in compliance with internship requirements and USCIS regulations.
For Prospective Employers
Regardless of your role, industry, or organization size, University of Rochester can help. If you want to expand your recruiting pool to access diverse talent with 21st century skills and the grit to succeed, Micro-Internships make it easy. If you want to improve the effectiveness of your hiring efforts and lower the costs (and risks) associated with onboarding, no problem. If you just need some immediate help on projects because you or your team is overloaded, we’ve got you covered.
