Launching STEM careers
Amazon Web Services created a pathway into software development co-ops. Students enrolled at Northeastern campuses that offer the Align Master’s Program in Computer Science can apply. To exceptional co-op performers, AWS provides tuition reimbursement and a stipend until they graduate—plus a job.
Northeastern designed Align to help college graduates with no background in programming break into tech. Learners cover the fundamentals, then complete master’s level coursework. Hiring managers say they prize Align graduates’ technical skills and diversity of thought and perspective.

Faculty experts in machine vision-based AI provided technical guidance. Next, NEMM won space, funding, and advising with a Founder Residency at Northeastern’s Roux Institute, then brought a Roux graduate student in computer science aboard full time, on co-op. She developed tools that make it easier for NEMM’s team to visualize and interpret data for their customers.
L.L.BEAN

L.L.Bean—a founding partner of Northeastern’s Roux Institute—sought to equip its employees with the skills to innovate. So the 110-year-old outdoor retailer partnered with Northeastern to co-develop data analytics courses tailored for its employees.
To date, 30 employees have put their new skills to use, interpreting raw data and strategizing in key areas like product marketing, forecasting trends, and supply-chain management. In the future, L.L.Bean’s employees will also be able to complete coursework in communication and visualization, databases, and statistics.
