title	Deciding when to use Experiences...

You should use Experiences if you are currently working with, planning to work with, or know of others who are working with students in regards to direct employer-collaborative experiences, such as, but not limited to:

Internships
Research
Co-operative Education (Co-op)
Assistanships
Apprenticeships

These experiences can be either for-credit or paid and can be remote or on-site. If you've completed associated trainings and are still unsure of whether your experience is the right fit for Experiences in Handshake, please contact handshake@syr.edu or careers@syr.edu for more information.

With Experiences (see Experiences at a Glance on the right for more in-depth information):

You will see that the list of Jobs change as you narrow your search by adding additional criteria.

Next, follow these steps if you’d like to save your search results:
