Please share as you see fit. Thank you, Stephanie Handshake Training For Staff/Faculty: Do you hire part-time student employees or interns in your department? If so, the Center for Career Development is offering a training session to learn about Handshake<https://career.utk.edu/handshake/>, the centralized job and internship portal for all students. UT departments can create their own accounts on Handshake and post part-time student jobs and internships. Benefits of posting positions on Handshake include, but are not limited to: * Access to a broader student applicant pool to ensure equitable access * Tools to screen and sort through applicants efficiently * Ability for Center for Career Development to advertise your positions At the training session, you will hear success stories from other UT departments, learn how to create a Handshake profile and how to post opportunities, and learn about to market your positions and screen applicants using Handshake’s tools. The Handshake Information and Training Session will be held on March 11th from 1-2PM in the Center for Career Development Room 225. You are encouraged to bring your own laptop or tablet. Please RSVP here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJDj9h1j_mqCdGXbI_XIEGPtreJu7cBnTLZsXYtFf07QxGdQ/viewform?usp=sf_link> to let us know if you’ll be attending.

Last year, 20 different students from 6 different academic colleges received funding for internships in Tennessee, New York, and the Dominican Republic, just to name a few. Please share the following with students: Applications for the Impact Internship Grant are open! The Center for Career Development is pleased to offer competitive grants for students completing unpaid or very low stipend internships in an impact area (non-profit, social service, educational institution, or environmental organization just to name a few). If you have secured an internship for the summer of 2020 with an organization that has a positive social or environmental impact, then please consider applying for the Impact Internship Grant. The grant is designed to help alleviate some of the financial strains that can come along with completing an unpaid internship. For more information about the grant and directions for applying, please visit http://bit.ly/UTImpactIntern. Just as a disclaimer, if you are completing an internship, practicum, or placement as part of your academic program or major, those experiences are not typically eligible for the grant. However, if you are completing an internship outside of or in addition to your major requirements, you would be eligible to receive funding. If you a still seeking a summer internship, visit Handshake<https://career.utk.edu/handshake/> to browse and apply for opportunities. You can also make an appointment to discuss your internship search through the Career Center tab on Handshake.
