“Working on Micro-Internships meant there were less barriers. I could jump right into a project and I got to know what their expectations were sooner instead of being filtered out by my GPA.”
Impact
“Even though I was pivoting, Micro-Internships were a perfect transition into either a new role or just to explore and see what you are capable of.”
“From an HR perspective, it’s a great way to get diverse people into your organization. Being a student, it’s a good way to get experience, network, and make money too.”
“It’s hard to focus on learning and career development at the same time while you’re in school. Parker Dewey allowed me to actually see what we’d been talking about applied.”
“At a career fair, my classmates had long conversations with recruiters while I was being told not to leave my resume for consideration. Micro-Internships gave us something to talk about.”
