Introduction
Handshake is designed to help students and recent graduates connect with potential employers. Through Handshake you can browse job and internship opportunities, register for an internship, attend virtual and in-person career fairs, and network with employers from a wide variety of industries.
Both Vermont State University (VTSU) and the Community College of Vermont (CCV) have partnered with Handshake, but it is important to note that the login processes are different for each school.
