Micro-Internship Program
Consider creating an impactful learning opportunity by hosting a KU student in a micro-internship this fall. Micro-internships are short-term, paid, project-based experiences that enable students to build career-ready skills, expand their professional networks, gain valuable references and strengthen their résumés for future internships and full-time employment. At the same time, you receive meaningful assistance on projects while helping develop the next generation of talent. Watch this video and review this flyer for more information on the program. Reach out to internships@kutztown.edu with any questions.
