How to Find an Internship

Handshake

Getting Connected to Handshake

Every USF student has a Handshake account; it is the student's responsibility to register and sign up for Handshake in order to view internship and employment opportunities. Handshake has a built-in match making capability that will alert students about opportunities for which they may qualify once a profile and résumé are uploaded.

For more information on how Handshake may be helpful to you, please visit USF's Center for Career and Professional Development (formerly Career Services).

By registering for Handshake, students gain access to full-time and part-time jobs, internships, on-campus interview schedules, career events and information sessions.
