Policies

Internship Compensation Policy

Northern Essex Community College strongly encourages “for profit” employers to compensate interns for the significant value they add to your organization. Paid internships create additional incentives and increase the competition within the applicant pool. Companies who wish to post an unpaid internship on Handshake must make it clear in that posting that the position is unpaid. All companies are encouraged to review the criteria of the U.S. Department of Labor under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Northern Essex Community College students who are enrolled in an academic program and who are in good academic standing are eligible to participate in our three-credit academic internship course. This for-credit internship program is managed by the appropriate academic program coordinators, along with the internship program coordinator. While participating in the internship program, site supervisors will be asked to evaluate both the student’s performance and internship program.

Additional Internship Information for Employers

Dedicating an internship coordinator within your organization can help the process run more smoothly for all parties. This dedicated person should be in charge of activities including: creating job descriptions, posting positions on Handshake, coordinating pay and schedule. All internship job posts should include the following details:

Background information about the company
