Get Serious about Experience

"One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular." -Anthony Robbins 

Northland College Internships pair classroom theory with immersion experiences. Students develop intentional learning goals for engagement with partnering entities and reflect actively to refine and enhance personal, professional, and educational development. An internship is different from a job because it is focused more on the student's learning rather than the organization's needs.

Unpaid internships can offer some of the best opportunities and usually pay off in the long run. Get creative to get experience: work a 20-30 hour/week unpaid internship while working another job, begin conversations early with parents or mentors about financial support or a loan while pursuing an unpaid internship, or apply for Parsonage Funding if the experience meets its criteria.
