Internships
Create A Micro-Internship Program
UNLV has partnered with Parker Dewey to create the UNLV Micro-Internship Program. These are short-term, paid assignments that can be completed by a current student or recent grad with minimal guidance or on-boarding. Micro-internships provide you access to a larger talent pool, assist in attracting top talent, improve new hire retention, and provide your busy hiring managers with some just-in-time support. Unlike a traditional internship, these assignments typically range from 5 to 200 hours total, can often be completed remotely, and can be done in any department in your organization.
Post Your Jobs & Internships On Handshake
More than ever, job searching is moving online, and in today’s marketplace, it’s necessary to have the best tools available. That’s why UNLV partnered with Handshake, one of the leading online employment portals for college to connect you to them. Our students and alumni are prepared to meet the challenges of today’s global and dynamic workplace.
