About this webinar
Handshake's mission is to democratize access to opportunity: to help every student find the right job, no matter where they're from or who they know.
This free virtual event will include a deep dive into Arizona labor market insights based on the activities of 14,000 employers in Arizona recruiting on the Handshake platform. We’ll then explore the shifts in employer engagement and recruitment amid a global pandemic (among other broad economic trends), and how these surface in the evolving role of workforce and career readiness in the higher education ecosystem. Finally, we will close the session with a brief demo of the Handshake platform.
