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 only 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 international student at UT you will need to confirm your eligibility to work before you are able to apply to projects. If you have already graduated from UT, you will need to ensure your project meets the requirements of OPT.
If you are unsure about your eligibility and/or need to confirm your eligibility, contact the UT International Student and Scholar Services for more information.
For Prospective Employers
Regardless of your role, industry, or organization size, students from University of Tennessee Knoxville 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.
