Micro-Internship 1

Gain experience in a career you’re interested in and extend your learning into the real world while learning from a professional of your choice with this in-person or virtual career-focused learning experience. The Micro-Internship 1 offering extends your learning into the real world and allows you to learn from a professional of your choice either in person or virtually. You will perform research on a particular career field, including the various pathways into a specific career, and use your connection with your chosen professional to determine an authentic product or deliverable to demonstrate your understanding of the Micro-Internship 1 competencies.

Note: You should either have already secured a mentor or have some ideas regarding a mentor you will be working with prior to starting. We have partnered with hundreds of mentors you can work with, who you can find in our Career Mentor Catalog here. Or, you may consult with our counseling department by emailing [email protected] for help in identifying one.

During this course, you will learn career-related skills and earn a badge for this accomplishment. A badge is a digital certification of your career-related learning that you can share on social media or with higher education platforms, colleges, potential employers, peers, and colleagues.
