Micro-Internships
When you are launching your career, micro-internships provide a tremendous opportunity. Not only can you explore different career paths and work on interesting assignments, you can also demonstrate your abilities to potential employers while building your professional portfolio and network. Beyond that, your academic experience will improve as you apply what is taught in the classroom to the real world (and vice versa).
Micro-internships are short-term, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable you to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build your networks as you seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, micro-internships can take place year-round, typically range from five to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kickoff.
We partner with and to provide micro-internship opportunities.
Preparing for Graduate School
If you plan to pursue an advanced degree, we are here to help you with steps in the process – from exploring options, to connecting you to resources, to advising you on your application materials.
Your faculty advisor is always a good person to have an initial discussion with about your graduate school plans, no matter what the discipline. The faculty in your department are the most likely to know which programs are a good fit for your interests.
If you wish to discuss your options with us, your career coach is available for advising appointments. You can schedule one by contacting us at careers@georgefox.edu.
