What is a Micro-Internship?
Micro-internships are short-term, remote, or in-person experiences. Students can connect with professionals in their desired field to develop new knowledge and skills related to a career field of interest.
For students, this is a chance to explore a particular industry or career while gaining practical skills and developing their network. These are short-term, remote, and more flexible opportunities to gain experience than a traditional internship.
Some Example Projects:
20 hours = $400

John Carroll University is closely monitoring the challenges associated with COVID-19 and its impact on student internships. As such, the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion would like to encourage our employer partners to consider posting short-term, professional projects (i.e., Micro-Internships), which can be completed remotely or locally in person. The Wayfinders Program will pay for your micro-intern.
Beyond providing you or your colleagues with immediate support on tasks, the short-term projects also support your talent recruiting and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Micro-Internships help you identify, assess, and mentor students who may be prospective job candidates upon completion.
For students, Micro-Internships allow them to demonstrate their skills, explore career paths, and build relationships with prospective employers. These paid opportunities typically range from 20 to 40 hours of work.
Micro-Internships can be completed across all departments, including:
- Sales/Marketing
- Human Resources
- Strategy
- Research
- Operations and Support (administrative roles)
- Finance and Accounting
- Information Technology Services
- Education
- Social Media
- Content Creation
- and more!
