What types of positions can be posted on Parker Dewey?
Paid, micro-internships for current students and/or alumni.
What is a micro-internship?
A micro-internship is a short-term project that can be completed within 5-40 hours, typically due within a week to a month. These projects require no on-boarding and can be completed by a college student with minimal instruction. These are important but low-risk tasks that can be completed either on-site or remotely.
Why should I hire a student for a micro-internship?
Not only is this a great way to support our students, it also provides you with immediate support and complements your campus recruiting efforts.
