Handshake

TheĀ  Ā鶹APP Career Center utilizesĀ Ā to manage interactions between students and employers. Please create an account to schedule recruiting events (on campus or virtual) and promote jobs and internships to Ā鶹APP students.

Handshake utilizes standard language for their employer events requests. You canĀ Ā to identify the categories to select based on the type of event you would like to host at Ā鶹APP University.

Important Notes

  • Nashville is in the Central Time Zone; please request event times accordingly.
  • After an info session or tabling event is requested in Handshake, we coordinate with our universityā€™s Events team to secure space or a table. Handshake requests are approved only after this confirmation, so there may be a delay until approval.
