Northeastern University will provide access to its Experiential Network (XN) Program and the Level Data Analytics Program to ACTION Innovation Network’s incubator members and resident startup companies, in addition to the university’s other talent acquisition & workforce development programs. These two programs allow organizations to move forward on short-duration, project-based work and connect with rising professional talent while participating students gain authentic work experience and valuable learning opportunities. Students are able to provide assistance to organizations in the areas of digital media and marketing, data analytics, corporate and nonprofit project management, legal research, regulatory strategy, communications management, among others.
ACTION Innovation Network’s Executive Director, Joan Popolo, states that, “Northeastern University is a welcome addition to ACTION’s member network. We see many benefits for our incubators and startup companies, both through Northeastern’s program offerings and connections to University faculty and academic resources. We are eager to work with Northeastern’s nationally recognized Department of Employer Engagement and Career Design team to offer meaningful, short-term project-based work experiences for the students.”
Working together is expected to reveal additional synergies with mutual benefit for both organizations.
