Employers
We ask that all employers post part and full time positions, internship opportunities, graduate programs, residencies, and fellowships on Handshake. Employers should complete an employer profile, providing detailed information about their organization. Once approved, employers can post and manage multiple positions, interviews, and more in the system.
To Access: Register your organization with Drake University Career Services, create your employer profile, and begin sharing opportunities.
Alumni
Drake alumni can continue to access an existing account using their Drake email and password for one-year following graduation. If you did not have an active student account or if one year has passed since graduation, alumni can request an account through Career Services.
To Access: Log in as an alum or contact career.services@drake.edu.
