Handshake

Handshake is your one-stop career platform that connects you with internships and jobs opportunities. It highlights Career Development Center and employer events that happen on-campus, off-campus, and virtually.

Students can use Handshake to:

  • Apply to jobs/internships
  • Schedule appointments with the staff and student staff from the Career Development Center
  • Network with and connect to employers
  • Learn more about upcoming events
