Experiential Learning to Fit Your Schedule

Experiential Learning will catapult you between industries and give you the transferrable skills needed to be competitive. But sometimes traditional internships can be difficult with other life commitments, including raising a family and working while attending school. Fortunately, there are many different ways to gain experience that is flexible for your busy life.

Types of Flex Internships

Remote Internships

Rolled out as a short-term solution during the pandemic, remote internships can open new opportunities for interns and their employers. Remote internships appear to have staying power, in large part because they’ve allowed organizations to recruit from anywhere without asking students to move. That opens opportunities for someone who can’t pick up and go somewhere else for an internship. With a remote paid internship, you can gain valuable real-world experience, with increased flexibility and freedom. Strong communication and time-management skills, as well as knowledge of virtual collaborative platforms, are key to succeeding in a remote paid role.

Micro-Internships

Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable you to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build your network as you seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off.

Project Simulations

Bite-sized 5–6-hour virtual work experience programs that give students a genuine career advantage with the world's top companies. Best for business related industries, including project management, data analysis, banking, consulting, sales, and marketing.
