Note
titleDeciding 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:

  1. Internships
  2. Research
  3. Co-operative Education (Co-op)
  4. Assistanships
  5. 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):

  1. Students submit their experience (internship for credit / no-credit) to Experiences in Handshake. This is utilizing the template and workflow YOU build in Handshake.
  2. Approval kickoff begins for your career services staff.
  3. Approval begins for YOUR assigned reviewers (optional) to your experience template(s). This can include associated mid-term and final evaluations as needed.
  4. Internship occurs
  5. Evaluation begins automatically based on YOUR criteria.

  6. Report on successes of each experience!


Tip
titleBonus!

Students who input their internship information through experiences are allowed to approve an automated update to their Handshake Profile based on the experience information they submitted. This support our University goal of 100% Handshake profile completion.

Once a template is created, it can't be deleted. Please edit all "Test" templates to the templates you need when you're ready. It's best practice to keep the list of Draft and available templates to a minimum. The longer the list of available templates, the longer the list students will need to scroll through before finding the template they need.
