Integrate experiential learning into your courses in less than five minutes!
Students participate in flexible work simulation projects that fit their schedules, they develop skills and gain a true experience working in practice. This is a very simple way to include a work-based learning within a course quickly.
Micro-internships: short-term, paid, professional assignments. These projects enable students to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks.
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.
