Job and Internship Posting Opportunities - Handshake

If you have current openings for full-time jobs, part-time jobs, cooperative education, fellowships, or internships, post them on Handshake, our employer to student connection platform. By using Handshake, you have the ability to post and edit your open opportunities, as well as take the posting down once the position is filled. Indiana State University students will be able to search for your company and positions, and apply directly with you.

Here are a few links to some Handshake Tutorials.

Career fairs are a effective way to connect with talented students and alumni in an engaging environment. These events offer direct access to a diverse pool of candidates actively seeking full-time roles and internship opportunities, making them a powerful addition to your recruiting strategy. You can easily explore and register for upcoming fairs through Handshake, our career services platform. Be sure to mark your calendar and plan to attend one of these high-impact recruitment events.

Fall 2026 Tabling (on-campus)

We'd love to host your organization at the Career Center in Fall of 2026. We will pop up a tent outside of the Career Center when the weather begins to warm up for you to engage with an array of students, faculty and staff, passing by the Career Center. You can see dates and times and sign-up at this Microsoft Forms link. If you're interested in a specific college or group of students to connect with, we can help arrange a classroom visit (see below), tabling in a specific college or an information session/presentation in the Career Center. If this is of interest, please email ISU-Career-Center@indstate.edu.

Information Session (virtual)

An information session provides employers with the opportunity to promote their company and benefits, share information regarding their current job or internship opportunities, and offer more information about their organization's culture. We encourage you to schedule information sessions in Handshake. Once scheduled, please invite Indiana State University to the event so we can review it to make visible to Sycamores. Feel free to also send the Handshake event link to ISU-Career-Center@indstate.edu, and we will share with the appropriate faculty and students.

Tours and Immersion Trips (onsite)

Hosting students at your organization is another opportunity to meet and interact with students face-to-face as well as show them what your organization is all about. These visits could consist of tours of your facility, presentations with employees, shadowing experience for students, or other activities to engage students at your place of business. If you are interested in hosting a class or group of students, please email ISU-Career-Center@indstate.edu.

Classroom Presentations (virtual or on campus)

A classroom presentation is an opportunity to talk to a specific major about your company or a position that you are hiring for. We can coordinate with faculty members in an academic area to organize a presentation for you in a classroom. If you are interested in attending a class, please email ISU-Career-Center@indstate.edu.
