Milestone 7: Events, fairs & student marketing
Course 8 of 13 in Implementation for EDU partners in the UK
This module will walk you through how to create your own events, fairs and marketing campaigns on Handshake.
Want to learn more about how to drive human-to-human connections at scale? This is the module for you! We walk through how you can create your own in-person, virtual and hybrid events on Handshake as an institution, as well as events in collaboration with employers and alumni to help your students grow their professional network.
Following this, we explore the career fair functionality on Handshake, allowing your students and alumni to connect with employers via virtual 1-1 and group sessions, or in-person on your campus. As part of this, you will learn about how to track attendees for in person events & fairs via QR code scans and check-in kiosks (card swipes).
Supporting this is our section on student marketing to help you engage your student body and raise awareness of how they can create human-to-human connections through your opportunities on Handshake.
