Micro-Internships

Getting your foot in the door can be challenging, especially without having prior experience. This is where Micro-Internships can help. Micro-internships are short-term placements where students work in a professional environment to gain practical experience and get paid. You’ll have the opportunity to explore different roles and company cultures in a way that fits into your schedule.

Micro-internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are typically remote opportunities. These opportunities are posted on a rolling basis and are not credit-bearing – you will get zero credit on your transcript. This is an opportunity for you to invest in your future self.

Before accepting a Micro-Internship, a student MUST complete CCAP’s Internship Professional Preparation Workshop.
