Small Experiences, Big Impact: Using School Based Micro-Internships to Expand Career Readiness for Every Student
Tuesday, July 21 · 10:45 AM – 11:30 AM · Franklin
Micro-internships are transforming how schools deliver meaningful work-based learning—especially when traditional internships aren’t accessible to all students. This session explores how schools can implement on-campus and virtual micro-internships that build real workplace skills while supporting daily school operations. Attendees will learn how short, guided roles—such as tech support, office assistance, event coordination, media creation, and peer tutoring—can increase student engagement, professionalism, and confidence without transportation barriers or complex employer agreements. Participants will leave with ready-to-use role ideas, staffing structures, and implementation strategies they can immediately apply in middle school, high school, or virtual learning environments.
