MicroIntern – Real-World Experience in Small Packages

  • One of the biggest challenges students face today is gaining practical experience while managing busy academic schedules. Traditional internships often last two to six months, which many students simply can’t commit to alongside classes, exams, and part-time work. At the same time, startups and NGOs often need short-term help for specific projects but struggle to find interns available for long periods.

MicroIntern bridges this gap. It connects students with micro-internships—real projects that last just one to two weeks. Students can explore industries, build portfolios quickly, and gain hands-on experience. Startups and NGOs benefit from motivated support for tasks like research, event assistance, social media, or content creation.

The platform starts simple: even a Google Sheet listing short projects can serve as an MVP. Students pick projects that fit their schedule, and matches are handled manually. As the concept grows, MicroIntern can evolve into a full platform with smart matching, certificates, and feedback systems.

In short, MicroIntern makes internships flexible, practical, and accessible, turning short-term opportunities into meaningful stepping stones for student careers
