Handshake is USC’s new career management system. Starting July 1, 2024, current students and alumni (0-3 years) will have access to this portal to create/update their profiles, book an appointment with Rossier Career Services, have access to employers on Handshake, and explore our Resource Library. Students can log onto the system using their USC NetID. Alumni (0-3 years) will have access to Handshake starting July 1, 2024, while all other alumni can request access by creating an account via Handshake. Employers can create accounts and connect with students about professional opportunities via job postings, events, and/or career fairs.
Please note that starting July 1, 2024, USC Rossier will no longer use connectRossier and USC will no longer use connectSC. Instead, you can now find us on Handshake!
Students: We’ve already created your Handshake profile with your basic information. Sign in today to explore careers, find amazing jobs and internships, and connect with other students who share your career interests.
Employers/Organizations already on Handshake: You should have received an email invitation to connect with USC and its career centers from the Handshake platform. This will be one place to connect with USC Rossier students, as well as students from across the University.

Additional details and activation directions can be found here at the USC Career Center.
