If you’re familiar with the Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills (you’re on our site, so we hope you are!), then you’ve likely done something in Handshake. Maybe it’s researching employers attending a career fair. Perhaps you have scheduled an appointment with a Career Coach to review your LinkedIn profile. Or possibly you were searching for a job and wondered to yourself, “Why do I have to log into a different website to find job openings on campus?” Well, starting this July, that will no longer be the case!
We are excited to announce our partnership with 12twenty, your new one stop shop for all things Career Center! Starting Monday, July 7 you will be able to:
- Make an appointment with a Career Coach
- Find and register for Career Fairs and events
- Connect with UConn partner employers and search for opportunities

- and more!
