About this course

This comprehensive training provides you with guidance to using Handshake's Employer Collections feature. You can populate Employer Collections with unique employers that you would like to boost and recommend to your students—directly embedding your expertise into the student experience.

Whether an employer is local or a hidden gem or open to hiring international students, you can showcase them to students via the Career Center homepage.


Who should take this course? Anyone in an employer relations role, or anyone that helps connect students with employers and their opportunities. 

Tip: Pause the video along the way and try to navigate in the platform as you progress through the training. Keep track of any questions that come up and reach out to your Relationship Manager after the course is completed if your questions are still left unanswered.
