Handshake After July 1, 2026

Handshake will be very limited for UCLA students after July 1. Employers will be directed to post jobs, internships, and events exclusively in 12twenty and counselors will host events and appointments exclusively in 12twenty. Be sure to be active on 12twenty to stay connected to everything the Career Center has to offer. We suggest you begin archiving your information from Handshake, which includes resumes and contacts. Our new platform will have similar resources, employers, and events.

To begin the deletion process, contact Handshake Support. To contact Handshake Support within your student profile, navigate to your initials in the top right corner and select Support from the menu that appears. Be sure to use the valid email address associated
