Host A Micro-Internship

UVM students are creative, capable world citizens – and they make excellent employees.

Micro-internships offer a proven way for your company to connect with PACE students who are interested in working on short-term, paid, professional projects and for you to build flexible workforce capacity.

What is a micro-internship? 

A micro-internship is a short-term professional assignment. Unlike traditional internships, these paid projects can be offered at any point during the year, typically range from 10 – 40 hours of work, and are due to be completed within a week to a month from the time they are posted.

How will micro-internships benefit my company? 

Beyond offering opportunities for PACE students to gain experience and demonstrate their skills, Micro-Internships also provide you or your colleagues with immediate support on short-term tasks. In addition, Micro-Internships support your recruiting efforts, helping you identify, assess, and build relationships with students who may be prospective job candidates.

Micro-Internships can be completed across all departments including:

  • Sales/Marketing
  • Human Resources
  • Strategy

Getting Started

PACE has partnered with Parker Dewey to help enhance talent sourcing and candidate selection for micro-internships. Employers utilize our Parker Dewey page to create an account, post projects, and search for prospective student candidates. Through this system, students are not your employees or contractors, making it easy to provide these opportunities on demand.
