We have partnered with ParkerDewey to help organizations of all sizes recruit students for micro-internships/short-term projects. This partnership allows for convenient and lower recruiting costs associated with onboarding and is a great option if you need immediate help on projects because you or your team is overloaded. These experiences can be completed across all departments including sales/marketing, human resources, strategy, research, operations and support, finance and accounting and IT.
