Handshake

Handshake is a robust career management system where you can search for full-time positions, internships, off-campus research opportunities, and on-campus jobs. In addition, Handshake is Lafayette students’ go-to hub for employer and Career Center events. The Handshake system can also be used to submit a request for an appointment with your Gateway Counselor.  Handshake allows student access to these resources 24/7.

Alumni (prior to the class of 2020) should contact the Gateway Career Center (careers@lafayette.edu) to gain access to Handshake.
