Attract the right contractor with your Project Description:
- Project Name: a job description that is visible to all Career Launchers before they read details about the project.
- Department: the department that is hosting this project (e.g. IT, Engineering, Marketing, etc.)
- Start/End Date: timeline and deadlines. Most projects last from one week to one month. If you have hard deadlines, be sure to include that in the project description.
- Project Description: outline of the scope of work, nature of the project, specific deliverables, potential for future opportunities. Check out our tips for posting a custom Micro-Internship project.
- Location: Indicate where your organization is based and whether your project can be conducted remotely or onsite. Over 90% of Micro-Internships are conducted remotely; if this project must take place on-site, be sure to include that as the location.
Creating clear Contractor Information will help you and your applicant be sure of their fit and capacity for the role:
- Estimated Hours: expected total hours (not weekly hours). The TOTAL number of hours the project will take (e.g. 5 hours/week x 4 weeks = 20 Estimated Hours)
- Amount student will receive: fixed fee payment in dollars upon completion of the project. Most projects are $20-25/hour.
- Amount you pay (per contractor): our calculation per contractor. Total costs typically include all payroll, legal and other administrative fees of your project.
- Number of contractors: number of open positions for hire.
- Skills: both desired skills and skills learned on this job. For example, software that the contractor would be expected to know prior to taking the job or that they would learn to complete the project.
- Schools & Affiliations/Programs: filter for specific institutions. If you do not select any schools/affiliations, your project will be visible to all Career Launchers.
