Did you know we have a job and internship board just for students, called Hire Lions powered by Handshake? Employers actively reach out to LWTech because they want to hire our students, and this is where they post their opportunities! We’ll walk through setting up your student profile, exploring the Handshake platform (including jobs, events, and employer connections), and share easy ways you can network with employers directly through Handshake. Over 80% of jobs are found through networking. We’ll help you make the most of it! You’ll leave with tips, tricks, and confidence to use this powerful platform effectively.
