Saint Mary’s has partnered with Parker Dewey to help employers more effectively hire our students through Micro-Internships: short-term, paid professional projects that let students apply what they’re learning in class, build their resumes, and connect directly with employers. These projects also give companies a low-risk way to evaluate talent, creating pathways to internships and full-time roles.

Our students are eager to participate, but we need more employers engaged and would value your help.
