Suggest They Try a Micro-Internship 🌟

Not all internships last all summer.

Look for micro-internships that last a few days or weeks where you can:
✔ Help a local business
✔ Assist a nonprofit
✔ Work on a short project

They’ll gain real-world experience and learn what careers interest them.
Sometimes the smallest opportunities lead to the biggest paths.
