Overview
Welcome to the USC Career Services Handshake Training Page.
This page covers Handshake training for USC career services staff and student workers requesting a career services administrative Handshake account.
Handshake is the university-wide CSM platform used across campus that includes staff from the central Career Center and the school-based career offices. It is important that all new career service professionals and student staff get properly onboarded and trained because there are a number of system settings that will affect all users and impact the functionality of the platform.
