Connect To Career Events, Jobs, & Internships
TechConnect is now powered by Handshake. Handshake makes it easy for every CCE Technology student to explore career events, connect to jobs and internships, and even schedule on-campus interviews.
With Handshake you can:
- Browse and register for career events on campus
- Explore thousands of jobs and internships from over 300K employers nationwide
- Get personalized job recommendations based on your major, interests, and more
- Upload your projects and portfolios
- Manage your own campus interviews with top employers
We’ve preloaded your profile to get you started. Please note that your profile’s default setting is set to “hidden.” Employers, alumni, and students won’t be able to see anything until you choose to unhide it.
 |
We recommend keeping it set to private until you fill out your profile and/or check in with a career center advisor. |
