A powerful opportunity for your education and career.

Adding real-world experiences to your CV can help you stand out when you’re applying for a job. It makes you more attractive to employers and helps separate you from other candidates.

Northeastern University’s Virtual Internship, powered by GlobalShala, lets you build your resumé and skills—before even starting your graduate program. Plus, when you complete your internship, you will be contacted to receive priority placement support for on-campus opportunities upon your arrival to the campus.

The Virtual Internship is also a great way to familiarize yourself with Northeastern’s experiential learning difference—the foundation of our educational philosophy.
