Engagement

Handshake

WVU utilizes Handshake, the leading early talent platform and official partner of 1,400+ colleges and universities. This platform allows employers to post internship and career opportunities for all majors, schedule on-campus interviews, search student resumes, and register for career fairs and events.

Career Fairs and Events

Through resume workshops, career fairs, networking opportunities, and interviews, the CCD instills professionalism in Chambers College students, creates experiential learning opportunities, and shapes future business leaders. View Fall 2023 Schedule of Events.

Interviews/Info Sessions

The CCD is here to help your organization plan a customized fall recruitment and student engagement strategy. Requests can be submitted through Handshake, or you can email Kara.Sherrell@mail.wvu.edu to discuss your organization's best option(s).

Marketing

Interviews and info sessions will be advertised to qualified students through several avenues, including Handshake, e-mails, and faculty endorsements. Organizations should provide detailed information, including marketing fliers and branded email content, to enhance student marketing efforts. 

Types of Interview Schedules

• Handshake Exclusive.  Use Handshake to manage applications and schedule interviews.
• Hybrid.  Use Handshake to manage applications but schedule interviews through another system already being leveraged by the organization (e.g., Yello).
• External ATS Exclusive. Post positions in Handshake but have students apply through the organization's ATS and manage all interview schedules through a separate platform.
