Employers can meaningfully connect with students on campus and virtually through UNO Career Services offerings.

Handshake is the first step to connecting with students and alum at UNO. On Handshake, you can post job and internship opportunities, register for Career & Internship Fairs, and more!
Create an Employer Account on Handshake
First, you'll need to create an employer account on Handshake. If your company already has an account on Handshake, ask your account manager to add you as an employee. After you've created an account and added all your company details, add "University of Nebraska at Omaha" to your school list.
Once your Handshake account is approved, you will be able to post available positions and request on-campus interview space.
Posting a Job or Internship Position
The best place to promote your positions to students on campus is through Handshake. As you post positions to Handshake, ensure they are in accordance with UNO's recruiting policies. Positions that do not align with these recruiting policies will be removed from Handshake.
