Handshake
Handshake is a fast, easy, and smart system that connects all UMD students and alumni with jobs, internships and career services. The platform provides access to positions around the world, as well as part-time and full-time jobs on campus and in the surrounding community (as of July 2023, UMD has switched to Handshake as an institution and no longer uses Careers4Terps). Use the link below to register for free.
Use Handshake to RSVP for UMD-based and employer events, career fairs, workshops, and information sessions, led by University Career Center. Click on the event for more details and register with the "+ Join Event" button. Joining events are a great way to learn new skills, network with fellow students, and meet with potential employers.
