Handshake

What is Handshake?

Handshake is a career network and job database for UTA students and alumni. In addition to posting jobs for students, employers can also connect with students of all majors and classifications. The platform serves as the posting site for all part-time and full-time positions, along with internships and student employment opportunities. Handshake provides students the capability to develop an online presence through professional landing pages which are searchable by our employer partners.
