One idea comes from Chicago-based education technology firm Parker Dewey. Its online platform features a directory of short-term micro-internships that give students between five and 40 hours of paid experience in work such as content creation, candidate sourcing, market research and lead generation. “It is a win-win in several ways,” said Jeffrey Moss, Parker Dewey’s founder and CEO. “Companies test out a student interested in their firm and fill a need for handling a short-term project.” For colleges and universities, it promises better job placement and stronger employer relationships.
