Micro-Internships

The Career Center is excited to highlight Parker Dewey Micro-Internships - a powerful recruiting tool that alows our corporate and nonprofit partners to access, engage, and assess UTRGV talent through short-term, professional, paid work experiences.

Unlike a traditional internship, these project-based opportunities typically range from 10 to 40 hours of work in total, and most can be completed remotely. Not only does this help the students, but it allows you a low-lift, low-risk, cost effective way to audition talent for longer-term roles, engage hard-to-reach demographics, and enhance your company's pipeline for future interns and new hires, all while getting immediate professional project support.

How does a Micro-internship work?

Micro-internships follow a simple process: Post your project to the UTRGV Parker Dewey website, select the applicants you want, and Parker Dewey will handle the rest. 

Regardless of your role, industry, or organization size, students and alumni from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley can help.

Project Examples

The examples below are based off of successful Micro-Internships assignments and are ideal for entry-level talent with limited industry knowledge but plenty of passion and perseverance. You can always define your own assignment and contact Parker Dewey for project scoping assistance.
