Milestone 5: Managing students, career fairs & events
Course 6 of 9 in Implementation for EDU partners in the US
Understand how to maximize usage of student-related features, plus career fair and event setup, in preparation for your launch to students.
Who should take this course?
This training is relevant for the campus administrator or the main Handshake point of contact, as well as any team member in a student-facing role. You will find guidance for configuring settings that determine how your students interact with you on the platform.
This course covers:
- Managing students
- Career fairs
- Events
- Using labels
This section is best done with consideration given to how you manage your student interactions and communication. We recommend reflecting on your current workflows related to student engagement. This is a time to discuss if you will be using Handshake to duplicate processes you already have in use or if this is an opportunity to explore new workflows.
Pro Tip: Almost anything in Handshake can be revisited. Make time to reflect on your decided structure and if things are going as you would like them to. Consider adjusting and trying something new if it isn't working.
