Peer-Led LinkedIn/Handshake Workshop
Join us for a hands-on Peer led workshop on Handshake and LinkedIn, which are social media platforms for professionals. Handshake is a national site specifically designed to encourage professional development for college students. LinkedIn is a site used for professional development, but unlike Handshake, LinkedIn is open to all. Students can use both platforms to search for jobs and internships, network with industry professionals and employers, and find events both on and off campus.
