Micro-Internships



The Career Center is excited to highlight an opportunity for you to tak epart in flexible, professional, paid work experiences through Micro-internships. If you are looking for opportunities to demonstrate your skills, explore career paths, and expand your network, these project-centered, short-term experiences are perfect for you. Most can be completed remotely, typically involve 10 to 40 hours of work, and are deadline-driven as opposed to set during specific hours.

By participating in a micro-internship, you can:

  • Learn and hone the skills employers look for when recruiting for internships and full-time positions
  • Explore new industries and potential career paths
  • Build tangible relationships with employers by demonstrating your skills and abilities in substantive projects – many employers use micro-internships as a way to connect with potential interns and full-time hires

  3. Apply: You decide which opportunities seem most interesting - it's a great way to explore different roles and industries.
