Welcome Undergraduate and Graduate Students!

Your First Steps with University Career Services is a module that introduces our services and how we can support your career education and planning during your first year at Carolina, and beyond. As you begin your journey, we ask that you do the following:

• Complete the Focus 2 Academic & Career Planning Tool
• Schedule an appointment with a UCS career coach to discuss your Focus 2 results and to establish your career development action plan, to include developing a resume
• Log in to Handshake and complete your profile. Handshake is our online portal which includes internship and job postings, details about company recruiting efforts, career fairs, workshops, employer contact information, and more. 

All students served by UCS have existing Handshake accounts which can be accessed by logging in with your ONYEN; please do not attempt to create a new account.

Graduate and professional students can also find additional information related to their career development here.
