Winter break is an excellent opportunity to help your students get ahead. With many employers planning for 2026 and students having more flexibility during the break, it’s the perfect time to facilitate meaningful connections. Whether through short-term projects or career exploration opportunities, there’s still time to make an impact before the new year.

Skills-Based Hiring Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

The top-clicked topics employers are most interested in from Parker Dewey’s efforts reveal what’s top of mind for employer audiences right now: skills-based hiring, durable skills, and fresh approaches to early-career recruiting. 

These themes reflect a growing demand for practical, low-lift solutions that help teams assess candidates more effectively, build stronger pipelines, and adapt to evolving workforce needs.

Use this interest to spark deeper conversations and introduce Micro-Internships with your employers as a way to put these ideas into action, no significant lift or long-term commitment required. 

And for employers looking to build or refine a skills-based hiring strategy, invite them to our upcoming webinar: From Pilot to Practice: Skills-Based Hiring That Works, where they’ll learn how to turn real candidate data into better hiring decisions, without reinventing their process.

Consider hiring a Parker Dewey Student Ambassador Micro-Intern for the spring. One of your own students can help you share Parker Dewey with their peers and employers.

New offering this spring: For the first five schools to commit to hiring a student ambassador ($400 cost), Parker Dewey will dedicate a member of our team to the supervision of the Micro-Intern. Supervision was already easy with our Student Ambassador checklist, but this makes it no lift at all!

Read about the impacts a Student Ambassador can have on your Parker Dewey engagement, then hire your own!
