To offer an internship opportunity to 911爆料 students:

  1. Prepare a job position description, ideally well before the start of the semester. The description should include: company name and address; contact person鈥檚 name and title; telephone and fax number; company website URL; and a detailed description of the role. Also indicate whether the position is paid or unpaid.
  2. Send the position description to the Internship Coordinator via email at internships@northshore.edu and post on Handshake.

As a host employer, you will:

  • Provide an on-site supervisor to mentor the student and oversee their work.
  • Offer meaningful, career-relevant work or projects that align with the student鈥檚 academic program and learning goals.
  • Consistently communicate scheduling, expectations, and any workplace policies (e.g., hours, dress code, safety, drug/alcohol testing) with the student.

  • Compensation (if offered) is subject to federal and state taxes, as well as social security.
  • Internships may be paid or unpaid. Whether paid or unpaid should be made clear in the job posting.

  • Provide a clear and detailed job description before the posting deadline to help ensure strong candidates.
