Micro-Internships
Micro-internships are short-term, paid, professional projects that provide opportunities for career exploration, skill development, and building a network.
Micro-internships are the perfect opportunity for employers to support quick-turnaround projects while identifying potential long-term interns or job candidates through a talent-rich pool of UAB students.
Unlike traditional internships, micro-internships can take place year-round, typically range from five to fifty hours of work, and have a duration of one week to one month. Micro-internships are used by Fortune 100 to emerging start-ups and can impact various areas.
