Micro-Internships VS Job Simulations
Micro-Internships
Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional projects that allow students to develop relationships with potential employers, gain valuable experience, explore career options, and demonstrate your capabilites. From working directly with an entrepreneur to supporting a large enterprise, you’ll have the opportunity to explore different roles and company cultures in a way that fits into your schedule.

Job Simulations
Job simulations build real-life skills for real-life roles, offering a window into the company and a preview of their day-to-day. Job simulations are 100% free, open access and self-paced. This is not a paid experience.
