Handshake

Handshake is a platform that connects all Bruins with internships and jobs, as well as Career Center events, fairs, and workshops.

Handshake is fully integrated into our website, meaning that Career Center programming, and jobs and internship postings from employers looking to hire UCLA students, are continuously posted here on our site through Handshake. As soon as event registration or a job or internship posting goes live on Handshake, you will know about it by visiting our website.

All UCLA undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars have free access to Handshake.

Handshake is also where career advising appointments with Career Center staff are scheduled.

If you are a UCLA alum, please see our Alumni page for details regarding access to Handshake after you graduate, and options for extending access through a paid account.

If you are a UCLA Extension student or alum, please see the Handshake resource page on the UCLA Extension Career Services website.
