The Micro-Internship Program
St. Joseph's University's Micro-Internship Program provides organizations with a competitive advantage when recruiting St. Joseph's students. By offering these short-term assignments, organizations can gain early access to high-potential students, support diversity and inclusion efforts, and enhance their brand on campus, all of which lead to improved hiring outcomes. Micro-Internships don’t replace your existing internship program or on-campus recruiting efforts, and hiring managers value the immediate support, making it easy to engage them in these mutual auditions.

What are micro-internships?
Micro-internships are short-term, professional assignments, comparable to those tasks that could be given to a new hire or a summer intern. Some common examples are content creation, industry research, data cleansing and social media support. Typical micro-internships require five to 40 hours of work by the student (in total), are typically due a few days to a few weeks out and can be completed remotely. Companies set the fixed price the student will be paid for each micro-internship (often between $150 and $600 depending on the scope) and select who they want.
The Office of Career Preparation and Professional Development utilizes the definition of an internship as well as the standards and criteria established by National Association of Colleges and Employers’ (NACE).
An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skill development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for a career path. They also give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.
For more information, visit naceweb.org.
Please note, if the internship is being offered for credit, the student is required to obtain permission from his/her academic department. All internship postings — paid or unpaid, credit or non-credit — must include learning outcomes, as well as internship responsibilities, qualifications, application instructions and deadlines.
On-campus recruitment is an excellent way to build your presence on campus and attract highly qualified students. This can be done through:
The Office of Career Preparation and Professional Development invites employers to visit campus and host an Information Table in a high-traffic area, informing students about opportunities available with your organization.
Visit St. Joseph’s campuses and provide a formal presentation to interested students outlining company information, internship and employment opportunities or general industry information.
The Office of Career Preparation and Professional Development can arrange for employers to meet with and interview candidates directly on campus. The office will advertise the position, collect résumés of qualified candidates for interview selection, and schedule a time and location to meet with candidates.

In our continuing effort to ensure that St. Joseph's University students are career-ready at graduation, the Office of Career Preparation and Professional Development is excited to announce Students @ Work! Our goal is to provide opportunities for students to gain practical knowledge of potential careers through a variety of experiential programs, and to offer employers ways to meet our talented, motivated and enthusiastic students.
Programs may include the following and are designed to prioritize both student and employer benefits:
Typically a one-to-one experience that allows a student to learn about a profession firsthand. Job shadowing length can vary, and visits may be short in duration involving several hours or more lengthy and span several days. These can be customized to meet the goals and needs of both the employer host and the student.
Company site visits provide occasions for small groups of students to tour an organization’s office space, meet current employees, listen to a presentation that outlines current opportunities and allow students to learn more about company culture.
Informational interviews give students an opportunity to interview an employee and learn about a profession. Informational Interviews are usually brief, no more than 20-30 minutes in length, and may include the following types of questions:

These fairs are typically larger in size and provide employers with an opportunity to meet students from various colleges. Registration and event information can be found on Handshake.
