Background to Internships
I am visiting Belfast as a representative of Northeastern University’s Cooperative Education Program (Link: https://careers.northeastern.edu/cooperative-education/).
Cooperative Education or “Co-op” for short is a work-integrated learning program that allows students to step away from the classroom and work for 4-6 month long full-time professional experiences that relate to their field of study.
The university seeks to forge strong longstanding and sustained relationships with employers as an extension of our Northeastern educational community. Employer partnership is essential to our pedagogical model of experiential education, high level academics and innovation.
You can find more information on our model via our academic plan here: https://academicplan.northeastern.edu/.
Northeastern has an academic track in social entrepreneurship, (see here: https://www.northeastern.edu/sei/academics/cba-social-entrepreneurship-track/) and has been an area of sustained interest and focus for our student population on co-op for many years.
Places at the event are limited so if you would like to attend, please register your interest ASAP.
Please RSVP by 10th June
