Search and apply to externships, internships, jobs, and on-campus interviews
- Employers want to hire TSU students. Handshake is the CPDC’s job and internship database. Unlike other job search websites, employers who post in Handshake are specifically looking for TSU students and alumni. Use Handshake to apply for externships, internships, jobs, on-campus interviews, and to RSVP to events. You can also opt-in to making your profile searchable by employers.
- The CPDC can help you connect with employers in every career cluster, whether you want to explore job fields or network with people in your industry – on campus or beyond the hedges. You can also explore careers through job shadowing (externships).
Explore upcoming events, employer profiles, and career fair attendees
- RSVP for workshops and employer events including information sessions, on-campus interviews, and career fairs.
- Resources are available 24/7 on Handshake for exploring career paths, compiling your resume, CV, and cover letters, interviewing, international student information, professional attire, and more.
Texas Southern University and the Career and Professional Development Center (CPDC) makes no representations or guarantees about positions posted by employers through this office. The CPDC is not responsible for safety, wages, working conditions or other aspects of off-campus employment. Due to the volume of jobs received by this office, we are unable to research the integrity of each organization or person that lists a job with us.
Therefore, you are urged to undertake this responsibility yourself. If you are suspicious about a job listed in Handshake, please email us.
