Small experience. Big impact.

As a non-profit/association partner, we are happy to support your Micro-Internship program in any way that we can.  This includes providing a custom portal for your students, alumni, and member organizations to sign up for the platform; marketing materials to help you launch your program; newsletter, webinar, and other outreach to share best practices; and data to help you measure the engagement of your stakeholders with these opportunities.

Parker Dewey has no-cost partnerships available to all higher education institutions, including universities, colleges, and community colleges. Parker Dewey partnership is also available to nonprofits, workforce development organizations, boot camps, and training programs. 

The benefits mentioned above are all available at no cost!

You can see examples of projects in our project library.  Each of these can be refined to your specifications and posted within a handful of clicks.  You can also customize your own project.

Companies retain Parker Dewey to provide services across a variety of departments, industries, and organization sizes. The assignments are comparable to those typically given to skilled new hires such as conducting market research, performing financial analyses, assisting in lead generation, and crafting internal and external communication materials.

In short, it’s easy as Parker Dewey handles it all.  No HR burdens. No conversion fees. No questions about ownership or worries about confidentiality.

Employment: Micro-Interns are not your employees, contractors, interns, temps, or freelancers. Similar to working with a consulting firm or any other service provider, you are engaging Parker Dewey LLC to complete the assignment, and each individual you select is a contractor or employee of Parker Dewey. You can still directly interact with them as much or little as you would like, and always have the opportunity to hire them directly without any costs or fees.

Liability: We’re mission-driven and believe in the power of creating opportunities. That said, we take on all the liability. Not happy with the work product? We’ll give you a full refund or find an alternate Career Launcher. 

Work Product: All work product is owned by you. 

Confidentiality: While most projects involve public-facing information of a non-sensitive nature, both Parker Dewey and all Career Launchers sign strict NDAs to protect your information. In addition to the standard provisions, the students understand that they are risking their academic transcript or expulsion for any violation of confidentiality.

Background Checks: Given the short-term nature and structure of these assignments, we do not conduct background checks. While companies are always welcome to conduct a background check directly, the nature of the specific assignments and lack of a direct relationship with the individual who is selected has caused most organizations to defer the background check until after a Micro-Internship is completed and a student is offered a traditional internship or full-time role.
