Many faculty and staff find it helpful to get their own student account in Handshake. While all students who enroll are automatically set up with an account, faculty and staff are not. To create and request an account:

1. Go to handshake.nevadastate.edu
2. Click sign up in the top right
3. Once you enter your information, please email career@nevadastate.edu and indicate that you are a faculty or staff member requesting access to Handshake. If you do not email us, we will not approve the account. Approval can take up to 2 weeks. 

Once your account is created, we are happy to provide an abbreviated training on how to use the platform and share with students.

About Handshake: Handshake is Nevada State’s online internship and job board exclusive for students and alumni. Among institutions that utilize Handshake, it is the #1 way that college students find jobs! In addition to being a job/internship board, students and alumni can also find local and national job-related events such as information sessions and hiring fairs and research employers/companies connected to Nevada State through Handshake.

If you would like to collaborate to host a career-related event, please contact us as soon as possible. Depending on the type of event, anywhere from 1 – 3 months in advance may be required.
