Internships

Prepare for Your Career with an NECC Internship

Internships provide you with a great opportunity to gain real-word experience and insight into a career. As an NECC student, you can earn credit through an internship course or you can pursue internships independently for experience.

Open Internships

NECC Internship Education Course

The Internship Education COP110 course is designed to help students in business, accounting, journalism, communications, and CIS programs gain real-world work experience, while receiving support from Career Services and Internship Program Faculty. Students can search and apply for internships through Handshake. Once hired for an internship, students are able to submit the experience for approval. If approved, the student can earn academic credits for that internship experience. These credits will go towards a free or program elective, depending on your major. In general, students are required to work 120 hours and to participate in career development activities through the internship class. Internship experiences for credit are available year round, during the fall, spring and summer semesters. For more information on the internship Education COP110 class, please contact Katie Yeaton-Hromada at 978-556-3947 or kyeatonhromada@necc.mass.edu.
