Kansas Micro-Internship Program

Are you a small business or organization with more ideas than time? If you can segment your work into “projects,” the Kansas Micro-Internship Project can help…. and your first two projects are free. There are more than 1,000 Kansas College students registered and waiting to help. Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable Career Launchers to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks as they seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off. Micro-Internships are used by companies ranging from those in the Fortune 100 to emerging start-ups, and go across departments including sales, marketing, technology, HR, and finance.
