UHCL Career Services now uses Handshake for students and alumni

University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Career Services has followed in the footsteps of many other colleges, transitioning from Purple Briefcase to the rapidly growing and popular Handshake.

Handshake, founded in 2014 by three ex-Michigan Tech students – Garrett Lord, Scott Ringwelski and Ben Christensen – has grown exponentially in popularity among 14 million students and alumni, over 800 universities (including over 120 institutions for minorities), Fortune 500 companies, retail companies, nonprofit organizations, and other types of businesses.

“We believe that Handshake is popular with students, university partners and employers because we have created a community that is laser-focused on meeting the needs of university career centers, students looking for meaningful internships and jobs, and employers looking to hire a diverse and inclusive early talent workforce,” said Priti Khare, Handshake’s director of communications and public relations. “Handshake is democratizing opportunity and ensuring college students have the support they need to find a great job and kick-off a meaningful career regardless of where they go to school, what they choose as a major, and who they know.”
