Join us for a brief informational session on the Virginia Micro-Internship Experience, a unique opportunity for employers to connect with college students across the Commonwealth through short-term, project-based work.

This initiative, led by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) and the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP), partners with Parker Dewey to offer 15-hour, paid micro-internships - fully funded by the state.

These micro-internships provide a flexible, low-risk way to:

  • Engage emerging talent
  • Complete meaningful short-term projects
  • Build your future hiring pipeline
  • Increase your organization’s visibility with students across Virginia

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How micro-internships work
  • Examples of real employer projects
  • How the program creates equitable access to professional experience
  • How easy it is to get started

Why attend?
✔ No cost to employers (student pay is covered)
✔ Minimal administrative burden
✔ On-demand support from Parker Dewey
✔ Access to a diverse, statewide student talent pool

This session is ideal for HR professionals, business leaders, nonprofits, and organizations looking for innovative ways to grow talent.
