This summer, Professional and Career Development Services upgraded its career management software by replacing Career bluePrint and moving to Handshake. We are excited about this upgrade and all the new features and services it will make possible for students.

Training Session
All are invited to attend a training session on tomorrow, Sept. 12, at 5 p.m. in Sussman Theater, Olmsted Center. Professional and Career Development Services will hold other training sessions within the colleges throughout the fall.

Student Access
Students can access Handshake by logging in to myDrake and clicking on the Handshake icon under Campus Resources. Use the Single Sign-On feature to log in.

Why Handshake?
We chose Handshake because of the wealth of features and functionality it offers.

• A customizable, personalized experience similar to that of LinkedIn or Facebook
• An intuitive design that’s easy to learn and use
• A set of fast and powerful search tools for job seekers
• The ability to have access to jobs on a local, regional, and national scale
• Better access to internships and other career development opportunities
• An iOS ready mobile app
