We know that bringing in early-career talent can be tricky, especially when timelines are tight, budgets are limited, or hiring isn’t your top priority right now.

That’s why we're excited to highlight Gigs for Good, an initiative that makes it easy for companies to connect with college students and recent grads through short-term, paid projects. This program is made possible by generous funding from our partners, including IBM, Bucknell University, and the state of Indiana (just to name a few).

Whether you're actively hiring or just need an extra set of hands, these projects create a simple, flexible way to support students and get real work done.

For live insights, check out our March 2025 Gigs for Good webinar replay.
