The PennWest career center provides recruiting opportunities to organizations offering professional and internship opportunities.

Getting Started with Handshake

Handshake created this guide to help walk you through the process of getting started on Handshake, from signing up to connecting with schools, including PennWest University, with troubleshooting tips for each step of the way. Getting started should be a smooth process!

Post Jobs & Internships in Handshake

To ensure equal opportunities for our qualified students and alumni, we ask that employers post available opportunities to Handshake. Follow this guide to post jobs/internships. Why Handshake? Many universities in Pennsylvania and nationally use Handshake, which makes it easy for you to post an opportunity only once and send it to several schools for free!

Unpaid Internships

The Department of Labor has developed a seven-factor test for determining whether workers are to be considered “trainees” or “employees” that must be paid at least state minimum wage under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA).

Remote Internships 101

The information and links on this page from Parker Dewey are your guide to assist in designing a remote internship program. Offering this kind of opportunity can be just as effective as a traditional on-site program.
