UCI is partnering with Parker Dewey to offer students a new way to build valuable work experience
What is a "Micro-Internship"?
Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, project-based assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. Participating in micro-internships helps you explore different career paths while building your portfolio, expanding your network, and developing your skills as you seek the right full-time role.
How does a Micro-Internship work?
Participating in a micro-internship is easy: Create a Parker Dewey account (less than 5 minutes!), browse the paid projects posted by a variety of companies, select a project and apply.
Benefits of Micro-Internships
There are many reasons to participate in a micro-internship:
- Signing up is fast and free! Go to info.parkerdewey.com/uci to get started

Considerations
- International Students - Need to qualify and be approved for OPT (even for the short duration)
