The best Micro-Internships are mutually beneficial.

    Companies get work done that isn’t the best use of their time, while identifying and auditioning potential job candidates. College students and recent grads demonstrate skills, gain experience, and explore career paths so they can find the right fit.

     

    Audition Entry-Level Talent with Real-World Projects

    When it comes to hiring for entry-level roles, resumes and interviews only reveal part of the story. Projects, however, provide a real-world glimpse into how candidates think, solve problems, and apply their skills. This hands-on approach doesn’t just measure their knowledge; it lets you see their work ethic, creativity, and ability to meet deadlines—qualities that are often difficult to assess through traditional hiring methods.

    By incorporating projects into your hiring process, you gain a clearer picture of each candidate’s true potential. It’s a chance for them to step up and demonstrate their abilities in a way that’s directly relevant to your open roles. For you, it means identifying the best fit with confidence.

    To help you get started, we’ve curated a selection of project ideas tailored for various entry-level roles across different departments. Choose a department below to explore projects that will help you identify the strongest candidates:
