University Career Services implemented Handshake as Mason’s central job, internship, and career database in the summer of 2018. Handshake is a powerful tool that puts students in the driver’s seat as the managers of their own careers.
We’re hearing great feedback from students and employers, but we know our Mason faculty and staff are a critical component in every student’s career readiness equation. We invite you to join us on Tuesday, March 12, to learn more about how students can utilize Handshake to its maximum impact and ways you can continue to support your students’ current and future career goals as their professor, advisor, coach, supervisor, or mentor.
