Promote Jobs & Internships/Co-ops with Handshake!
Want to share a job posting with Tufts students? Tufts utilizes a recruiting database called Handshake, where employers can make a profile and post any job, internship, or co-op openings for Tufts students and alums to view. With a Handshake account, you can request to post jobs, events, interview schedules and view/register for career events sponsored by the Tufts Career Center.
If your company is planning to attend our fall Career Fair, now would be a great time to update your Handshake profile with your available job opportunities so that students can see what openings you are recruiting for this fall. Questions about posting opportunities on Handshake can be directed to willa.mayo@tufts.edu.
Community Service Federal Work Study Program for Nonprofits
The Community Service Federal Work Study is a program for college students with demonstrated financial need who are serving the local community in Medford, Somerville, or Boston through work at local non-profits. Federal Work Study students work part time and use their earnings for tuition, books or living expenses. Learn more here.
