Post a Short-Term Project or Micro Internship
Micro-internships provide organizations with a competitive advantage when recruiting Yale students. By offering short-term assignments, you gain early access to high-potential students, support your diversity and inclusion efforts, and enhance your brand on campus. Micro-internships can be created on demand, and there are no long term commitments or administrative burdens. Common examples include content creation, industry research, data cleansing, and social media support. Typical projects require 5-40 total hours, are due within a few days or weeks, and can be completed remotely. Companies select their candidate and set the payment, usually $150 – $600 depending on scope. Learn more at Parker Dewey’s Yale landing page.
Yale Alums and Preferred Yale Partners
Appreciation for Travel Reimbursement
Are you a Yale alum, parent, faculty, fellow, or other Yale affiliate? If so, we invite you to post a professional opportunity for Yale students and alums as a Preferred Yale Partner. The Preferred Yale Partners model allows alums and other Yale affiliates to work closely with a Yale team member to post their position and advertise it to student. For more information about this program, contact us by email.
“The Travel Reimbursement Program was enormously helpful during my graduate school audition. I am beyond grateful to those who made it possible. While graduate schools in the sciences provide stipends for interviews, schools in the arts generally don’t. I hope the program can be sustained to expand access to careers in the arts.“
