Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that enable Career Launchers to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks. They can take place year-round, typically require 10 to 40 hours of work by the student, and are due within a few days to a few weeks.
Unlike traditional internships that are tied to the academic calendar, Micro-Internships can be used year-round to provide on-demand support for short-term projects (usually requiring a total of 10-40 hours of work). They can be performed remotely and require minimal oversight and commitment. Micro-Internships are utilized across industries and roles, as a precursor or alternative to traditional internships, and as skills-based hiring auditions.
Representing all backgrounds, majors, and degree levels, Career Launchers are U.S.-based college students and recent graduates who are motivated to gain professional experience as a way to demonstrate their skills, build relationships, and explore career pathways prior to a summer internship or full-time role.
There's no cost for professionals to post Micro-Internships or for Career Launchers to participate. The only cost is what the professional sets as the price of each Micro-Internship, of which the selected student receives 90% upon completion. In addition, should a company want to hire a Micro-Intern for a full-time role, summer internship, or anything else, there are no additional costs or fees - as a mission-driven organization, we love when this happens!
Micro-Internships are comparable to those assignments typically given to new hires or summer interns — things like conducting market research, performing financial analysis, and assisting in lead generation. Companies partner with us to provide services across a variety of departments, industries, and organization sizes.
That fulfilling, just-accomplished-something-big feeling?
It’s mutual.
