Micro-Internship Opportunities

BEAR Life Micro-Internships 

What is a Micro-Internship?

A micro-internship is a short-term, paid project to help students gain experience. You can try different jobs in your field of interest by doing job simulations on Forage or you can apply for a specific project through Parker-Dewey. A BEAR Life Micro-Internship will help you:

  • Learn new skills
  • See what real jobs are like
  • Get experience you can put on a resumé

After completing 8-12 hours of job simulations through Forage or 10-hour project through Parker-Dewey, BEAR Life members can receive a $200 payment.

You may choose to complete a micro-internship through either Parker-Dewey or Forage.
