Bridging the Gap from College to Career with Micro-Internships with Jeffrey Moss
Welcome to the High School Hamster Wheel podcast! I’m Betsy Jewell.
It’s been a while—okay, a long while—since I last released an episode. Life has been busy with some exciting new projects, and I can’t wait to share one of them with you soon!
But today, I have some bittersweet news. This episode marks the beginning of the final three episodes of the High School Hamster Wheel podcast. I can hardly believe it’s been over five years since I started this journey. What began as a passion project has evolved into something far beyond what I ever imagined, ultimately leading me to my favorite and current role, as a Career Coach!
Now, let’s talk about today’s episode. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jeffrey Moss, Founder and CEO of Parker Dewey, to dive into a topic that affects so many students and graduates: the transition from college to career. Jeffrey brings a wealth of experience, from his background in venture capital investing in education and technology to launching Parker Dewey, a platform designed to bridge the gap between students and meaningful work experiences.
We discuss the challenges of hiring bias, the importance of real, paid professional experience, and how micro-internships can create better job matches for both students and companies. Jeffrey also shares insights on higher education trends and the crucial role parents play in helping their kids navigate career exploration.
This is a conversation packed with valuable takeaways—so let’s get started!
