Get Things Done, Discover New Talent
The Micro-Metcalf Program is open to employers from all industries and students from all majors. Many of the projects posted by partner employers take an estimated 20-40 total hours over 2-4 weeks to complete and can be completed remotely, but the flexibility of the program allows you to tailor the project posting to fit your needs. In addition to being an easy way to find the support you need when you need it, many employers use micro-internships as a way to discover talented candidates for summer internships and full-time hires.
