"My internship not only taught me the basics of the job, but also helped me learn more about myself and what I want in my career. It was a great hands-on opportunity to give the business world a test and apply what I have learned at Northern. Doing an internship was definitely one of the best decisions I've made in college."
Brittany, Management Major
An Internship in Management is a professional business experience that provides an opportunity for students to gain valuable business experience outside the classroom and may result in full-time employment with the intern employer after graduation.
Internships allow students to try out a specific type of career path and can make him or her more marketable to future employers. While many of the internships are compensated, some are not. Even if they aren't compensated, internships can provide valuable experience that pays off for the student in terms of marketability in the market place and the opportunity to network with professionals in the field. Internships may also lead to full-time positions following graduation.
The internship program provides opportunities during any semester: summer, spring, or fall. All Management majors are encouraged to seek out internship opportunities to enhance their education and career options.
