Handshake is a global careers platform connecting our students, graduates, and the University with employers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Handshake is used to promote all job opportunities, career events and fairs to our students and graduates, whether these are locally, nationally and globally. Therefore, we no longer use UniHub for careers events and job opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n Job opportunities advertised on Handshake:<\/span><\/p>\n Take a look at our <\/span>Handshake – academic intro presentation<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n As a staff member, you can access Handshake, allowing you to explore the system, and look out for the jobs and events relevant to our students. In order to access Handshake, please follow the below instructions:<\/p>\n Once you have followed these instructions, you must then use the ‘You can also sign in with your email address’ option<\/strong> (underneath the Current SHU Students login button) or ‘Log in using your Handshake credentials’<\/strong> (when you save your details) to login to Handshake.<\/a><\/p>\n As Handshake<\/a> is the<\/em> careers platform to find a part-time job, placement, and graduate job or internship, it is vital it is promoted to our students in as many ways as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Guidance for our students and graduates is included on our Careers and Employability website.<\/a> Our dedicated page details how students can login and set up their Handshake profile, how to download and use the Handshake app, and explains the benefits of Handshake.

Placements undertaken in 2021\/22 will still be on UniHub for continuity purposes as will the placement approval process for any sandwich placements being undertaken in 2021\/22.<\/p>\n For short and sandwich placement opportunities due to take place in the 2022\/23 academic year, the approval process must<\/em> go through Handshake. The approval process comprises of a partnership approach, focusing on the students learning and development, as well as the students understanding of their safety on placement.
