- What are Micro-Internships? Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to work given to new hires or interns. These projects happen year-round and typically range from 5-40 hours of work that is completed within one week to one month. These experiences can help you explore different career paths or demonstrate your abilities to potential employers while building your professional portfolio and network.
- Who are Micro-Internships For? These experiences are open to all University of San Diego students and alumni. Want to make the most out of summer break or intersession break? In the middle of a career transition and hoping to gain skills? Just graduated and still searching for the next full-time opportunity? Use these flexible opportunities as a way to get paid at no cost to you.
