Finding an Internship or Field Experience

There are five main resources that students have used to find internships or field experiences:

1. Faculty or Advisors-Northland's faculty members are many times engaged in their own research or have professional connections with opportunities for students.

2. Northland College's Internship and Field Experience Partners - Northland College creates opportunities that are exclusive for our students, and posts them on internships.com. To view all available positions, go to internships.com to register:

• Click on "Sign Up for Free" in the upper right hand corner of any page.
• Complete the form by entering your first and last name, email, and create a password.
• Make sure to select our school location and school name from the My Profile area under "Education" once you have registered. We are listed as Northland College.

3. Friends and Family-Using your personal network of contacts is a great way to get a foot in the door with an organization. Visit the networking website for more information on this.

4. Web-based Search Engines-Many of the job and internship search engines, including all federal opportunities, can be found at Northland College Job and Internship Search.

5. Annual Job and Internship Fair-Over sixty organizations attend the fair each year, many with multiple internship opportunities. The 2012-2013 fair will be held on Thursday, February 7^th in the Ponzio Campus Center. Watch your email and mailboxes for more information about who will be there!

If you can't find an opportunity that fits your professional goals, sometimes we are able to create a customized internship for you.  To explore all options, contact Stacy Craig, Coordinator of Applied Learning, at scraig@northland.edu or (715) 682-1232.
