Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable Career Launchers to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build networks as they seek the proper full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off. Micro-Internships are used by companies ranging from those in the Fortune 100 to emerging start-ups and go across departments including sales, marketing, technology, HR, and finance.

INTERNSHIPS VS. MICRO-INTERNSHIP? Internships are a staple requirement for most job evaluations at the peak of entry-level and beyond. They are defined as the position of a student or trainee who works in an organization, sometimes without pay, to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification. Unlike a traditional internship, Micro-Internships are part-time, paid assignments in a significantly shorter period. This means more students can be hired faster while effectively testing their skills on a new level they may never have otherwise.
