These short-term, professional assignments provide a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience, build your resume, and connect with top employers—all while fitting into your schedule.
What are Micro-Internships?
Micro-internships are flexible, project-based opportunities that typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work.
