Handshake

Handshake is a platform created for students, alumni, and WC supporters. Think LinkedIn but focused on the Blue Jay community. Members can communicate with each other through private messaging, scheduled phone calls, or through a variety of community groups. Alumni and supporter members participate because they feel strongly about helping students navigate the sometimes-tricky world of job searching and career exploration.

All WC students have access to Handshake, the largest career community for college students. Students get curated career support:
