Are micro-internship marketplaces the same or different from project-based marketplaces?

Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces

Internships, at their core, are temp-to-perm employment opportunities that allow both the employer and the student to work together for usually a few months to see if they're a good fit. Parker Dewey has taken that to another level with what it calls micro-internships, projects that typically last five to 40 hours. Many of these projects are similar to what you'd find on project-based recruitment marketplaces such as Fiverr and Upwork, but the completion of the Parker Dewey project, ideally, is only the beginning.
