Internship Alternatives
In addition to jobs and internships, there are many ways you can deepen your skills, gain experience in your field and connect with professionals.
Check out LUC's Micro-Internship Program. Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns.
These projects offer you a way to deepen your skills, explore career paths, and build your network. 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.
You can also try Driving Forward:

- Duration: 10 week projects
