Career Services

Career Services can help students with career planning including finding internships and jobs, creating resumes and cover letters, personal branding, interviewing and salary negotiation. We work closely with employers to develop internships and full-time opportunities for UW-Eau Claire students and alumni.

Handshake

Handshake is a powerful tool to find on-campus and part-time jobs, internships and full-time opportunities! Whether you are a student looking for a job, an employer needing to fill a position, or an alumni seeking a new career path or needing resume advice, Handshake is the place to get started. Log in today.
