Do you know of any students looking for a short-term opportunity to gain field experience and professional growth? Encourage them to consider the benefit of a micro-internship experience, an added option in the university\u2019s Career & Academic Planning Center.<\/p>\n
What is a micro-internship, you ask? Unlike traditional internships, micro-internships can take place year-round, typically range from five to 40 hours of work, and are typically completed within a month. Micro-intern assignments are comparable to those typically given to skilled new hires.<\/p>\n
Micro-internships provide students with a tremendous opportunity. Not only do they allow them to explore different career paths and work on interesting assignments, they give them the chance to demonstrate their abilities to potential employers while building their professional portfolio and network.<\/p>\n
Micro-internships provide networking opportunities that could lead to landing a full-time job, as they serve as a platform for students to showcase their knowledge, value and diligence.<\/p>\n
If you know of a student interested in pursuing micro-internships, please have them contact Wade Witherspoon at wwitherspoon@georgefox.edu<\/a> or 503-554-2338, or go to theforage.com<\/a> or parkerdewey.com<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you know of any students looking for a short-term opportunity to gain field experience and professional growth?
