Through these projects, career launchers can demonstrate skills, explore career paths and build their networks as they pursue the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round and typically range from 10 to 40 hours of work. Whether you are looking for an opportunity or a company wanting to post a project, begin the process that can turn into a win-win situation for everyone.
