Intro to BlueHensWork: UD's Funded Micro-Internship Program

Watch the Replay On-Demand!

This webinar was recorded on October 24, 2024.

In this webinar, we shared how your organization can participate in the UD BlueHensWork Micro-Internship Program. This is a unique opportunity for Delaware-based non-profit, public service or government organizations to engage University of Delaware (UD) students on short-term, paid Micro-Internships.

This successful program will now be exclusively available for students to work on projects during Winter Break 2025. Watch the replay to learn more about the program, timeline, and other key details. There is no cost for your organization to participate in this program while funding remains available.

Learn how Micro-Internships let you engage, assess, and hire college students more effectively, on-demand, and without adding to your workload.

Whether you're looking to fill vacant spots in your upcoming summer internship cohort, exploring new ways to engage students, or could use help now in getting more done without the hassle of paperwork or long-term commitments, Micro-Internships are a scalable solution.

After the event, you'll understand:

how Micro-Internships work,
examples of the types of projects students can complete, and
how these paid, short-term projects create equitable access to professional careers in our community.

[My Micro-Intern] is a diamond in the rough. If I could get one in every division, we'd be all set.

I wanted to do something for a nonprofit where I could combine what I cared about and what I wanted to learn more about, and do the work that I was good at for them. And this was perfect. It was a match made in heaven!

You can interview, but you don’t really know how you’ll work with a person until you actually work with them. With this, you get to try someone for 20 hours and make sure your working styles match!
