traditional internships, these paid opportunities typically range from 5 to 40 hours of
work, can be completed year-round, and help students develop career skills while

success or fit. Unlike assessments, video interviews, algorithms, and other
applicant screening technology, Micro-Internships improve hiring effectiveness by
allowing companies to authentically evaluate a Career Launcher’s skills and work
ethic upfront. Both employers and candidates win by having an opportunity to do
actual work with one another before committing to an internship or full-time role.
You gain professional experience. Companies get immediate support.
Enhance your resume and find the right full-time role.

from a competitive, open-minded environment and have
powerful motivation to exceed expectations as you look to
land your first job.
Micro-Internships enable you to utilize classroom knowledge
and campus support to complete professional assignments
while gaining experience and demonstrating research,
problem solving, and communication skills.
