Faculty & Staff Resources: Handshake

Handshake is Augustana College’s Career Development online platform to assist students in finding jobs and internships, sign up for career fairs and events, connect with employers, and access career resources.

  • Every student has a Handshake account accessible using their email login.
  • Every faculty & staff member has a Handshake account accessible using their email login.  We update accounts each semester.  If you are unable to sign in, please contact us.

Consider the follow options to help us connect students with future opportunities and resources by:

  • Requiring students to log in and complete their profile as an assignment for class
  • Mentioning Handshake when you meet with students (office hours, advising, etc.) 
  • Add Career Development & Vocation and Handshake as a resource in your syllabus
    • Career Resources: Visit the Career Development & Vocation for Career & Vocational Exploration, Graduate/Professional School Search, Internship Registration, Interview Prep/Mock Interview, Job or Internship Search, LinkedIn Professional Head Shot Photos, Personal Statements, Resume/Cover Letter Writing, and more!
    • Handshake is the school’s official job/internship portal. Thousands of employers are hiring students on Handshake.
