Internships are an integral part of Northland's unique curriculum. They pair classroom theory with invaluable work experience in your chosen career field.

Northland has partnered with regional and national organizations to develop a rich network of internship opportunities. Lately, students have interned with the National Fish and Wildlife Service, United States Geological Survey, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission, Minnesota Zoo, National Geographic Society, Mayo Clinic, Matanuska Glacier Adventures, Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, Chicago Botanical Gardens, Democracy Matters, sustainable agriculture, and artist's galleries.

Each year more than 60 partners, alumni, and organizations visit campus during Northland's Job and Internship Fair. The event allows students to learn more about internships, along with job and volunteer opportunities as well. Northland Alumni play an important role in helping students get internships by recruiting at the Job and Internship Fair, sending position announcements to the College, and directly
hiring and supervising internships.

Northland's staff and faculty work closely with you to identify opportunities that match your unique educational and career goals. While you research, develop, and participate in your internship, Northland's coordinator of applied learning supports you every step of the way, ensuring that your experience is both challenging and fulfilling.
