Professional & Career Development Services has rebranded!

We are now Career Services. We are delighted to welcome your student to campus for the fall 2023 semester.

Career Services partners with graduate/professional programs and employers to bring their best opportunities to campus. One way we do this is through Handshake, our career management platform. The top employers–including all Fortune 500–recruit students through Handshake, giving your student access to jobs and internships not available anywhere else. Handshake offers many exciting features, including:

• Personalized job recommendations based on your student’s major(s) and interests
• An easy way to register for and attend career fairs (We have 4 this year!) 
• Managing on-campus interviews with top companies
• Scheduling appointments with career coaches
• Connecting with students with similar interests  

Your student’s profile is preloaded and ready to go. They simply need to access the platform.  Students with a full profile are 5x as likely to be messaged by employers. As family members, you can partner with us to encourage your students to download the Handshake app and complete their profile.  To learn more about Career Services or to gain our contact information, please visit www.drake.edu/career.
