Jeffrey Moss founded Parker Dewey as a way to help college students and grads from underserved communities get jobs. The organization places young people in micro-internships, or short-term, paid professional experiences. Here, Moss offers 5 reasons why companies should hire micro-interns.

In 2016, Jeffrey Moss started Parker Dewey, an organization that facilitates micro-internships as a way to ensure that every college student and recent grad has equitable access to professional opportunities.

This led him to the realization that there was a missing piece in the puzzle: Graduation is not the end point for students from underserved communities; employment is.
