BRTC Encourages Business to Join Handshake

Black River Technical College (BRTC) is encouraging local and regional businesses to join Handshake to help students find employment after graduation.

Handshake is an online job-search platform designed to help college students find a place in their career field. Once students complete their profiles they are matched with jobs that align with their interests and skill sets. Also, because Handshake is just for college students, they do not have to worry about competing with other people who might have more experience than them.

Along with students, businesses can also benefit from using Handshake. With an account, businesses can post job and internship openings available to college students. Businesses can find applicants that are local, certified, and ready to work when using Handshake. The platform also provides a messaging feature that allows students and businesses to network and communicate directly.

For more information about how to join Handshake contact Shane Copeland, Director of Student Career Readiness, at shane.copeland@blackrivertech.edu or (870) 248-4022.
