Description

Unlock the full potential of Handshake! This workshop is designed to show faculty and staff how Handshake is more than just a job board—it’s a powerful tool for connecting students’ academic journeys with their career aspirations.

Handshake is the official career platform of the Los Rios Community College District, offering students and alumni access to thousands of job and internship opportunities, career fairs, employer events, and personalized career resources. It’s a one-stop shop for students to explore meaningful opportunities and build the skills they need for future success.
