Handshake
The UCLA Career Center will be transitioning away from Handshake and into 12twenty by July 1, 2026
12twenty will be our new platform for job and internships, appointments, and events. Visit our 12twenty website for more details.
Handshake After July 1, 2026
You do have the option to change your Handshake account to a personal email and continue using Handshake’s general platform. If you plan to use this version of Handshake, please be aware of the following:
- You will not see any UCLA events, workshops, fairs or appointments.
- The UCLA Career Center will not be able to access your account after July 1. Download your documents and reach out to employers you are in contact with – make a plan to stay in touch via LinkedIn or 12twenty.
- The UCLA Career Center will no longer vet or approve jobs, employer, or events on Handshake after July 1. These opportunities are advertised to a wide variety of campuses and will not be targeted towards UCLA students specifically. 12twenty will include employers who are looking to hire from our Bruin applicant pool.
- Issues that may arise with Handshake must be addressed directly with Handshake and not the UCLA Career Center. Please be aware of any potential scams or fraudulent employers.
