Parker Dewey (Micro-Internships)

A Micro-Internship is a short-term project that can typically be completed within 5-40 hours and is due within a few days to a few weeks. These projects require no on-boarding and can be completed by a college student with minimal instruction. These are important but low-risk tasks that aren’t the best use of your time.

Consider offering Micro-Internships for Virginia Wesleyan Students and recent grads. Your organization can provide professional work experience and learning opportunities through short term projects. It is also an opportunity for you to stay connected, give back, and create a hiring pipeline for your organization.
