Micro-Internships

Micro-Internships are professional, paid projects that give students the opportunity to explore career paths and industries through a short-term engagement. Our office partnered with Parker Dewey, the leading organization in micro-internships, to provide employers with a platform to post their short-term projects and for students to identify resume-building opportunities. For more information, contact Kelsey Williams, Assistant Director of Employer Engagement.

UNC Micro-Internship Program

The UNC Micro-Internship Program was created in an effort to partner with employers and make these short-term project more accessible to highly-motivated, curious students. This is a great way for UNC alumni, our employer partners, and others seeking Carolina talent to attract and identify top talent for internship and full-time roles, or to provide career development opportunities to students seeking work experience. These projects are open to ALL undergraduate and graduate UNC students. To post projects specifically for UNC students, click here!
