This gives us more access to employers and internships that maybe we didn鈥檛 have access to before.
Anyone who has ever looked for a job knows it can be a daunting and overwhelming experience.
色香视频 recently made it easier for students and alumni to find the career they want through , the largest career-development platform in the country.
In January, the Career Services and Internship Program Office transitioned from the Hire 色香视频 system to the Handshake platform. With more than 400,000 employers and a network of more than 700 schools, Handshake offers 3.5 million jobs and internships across all industries for students and alumni to explore.
鈥淭his gives us more access to employers and internships that maybe we didn鈥檛 have access to before,鈥 said Laurent Troland, Career Services assistant director.
Senior marketing major Francis Raboy registered with Handshake and likes how streamlined and easy it is to use.
鈥淚t feels more professional and is up to current tech standards, it鈥檚 not as clunky,鈥 he said.
Francis likes that employers use the platform to recruit college students. He鈥檚 also found it helps fine tune his skill set.
鈥淚 hope to get a better understanding of what employers in the industry are looking for so I can tailor what I鈥檓 doing in school,鈥 he said.
The program is free to all 色香视频 students and alumni. Upon visiting the site, users are asked to create an account and are then prompted to answer questions to curate a homepage specific to each user.
From there, students can look for jobs and internships and network with students at other universities and colleges also enrolled in Handshake.
The platform can also be used to sign up for campus programs such as the 色香视频 to Boston program or Ocean Spray site visit.
鈥淚t really will help to integrate everything in one place,鈥 Troland said.
Ultimately, Handshake鈥檚 ability to provide more opportunities is what excites him the most.
鈥淚t will give students access to companies and organizations that didn鈥檛 necessarily target Bridgewater before,鈥 he said.
It also shines a light on the quality of students that come through 色香视频, which will encourage companies and businesses to take a closer look at the school.
To date, 1,600 色香视频 students and alumni have signed up for the platform, but Troland said his office is pushing for more.
All current students are already in Handshake and can log in using their full @student.bridgew.edu email address as their username and the corresponding password.
