Handshake, an all in-one career development platform designed to connect students and alumni with employers, internships, jobs and career events, has officially launched and is already buzzing with activity.

This new platform provides access to thousands of employers at the local, national and global levels that are actively seeking to recruit Truman students and graduates. In addition to job and internship postings, Handshake offers personalized recommendations based on user profiles and career interests.

Students and alumni will be able to take advantage of additional features, including convenient scheduling of appointments with Career Center advisors and notifications regarding workshops, events and professional development opportunities. Those interested can also download a mobile application that allows users to browse postings, register for events and submit applications from any location.

All Truman students have been preloaded into Handshake and just need to activate their accounts using their Truman login credentials. Official invites were sent out Aug. 15. Alumni can create a free account by selecting “Truman State University” as their school and registering with a personal email. These accounts are verified and approved by career center staff to ensure the alumni community stays connected.
