Handshake is UW-Whitewater's online job board for students. As such, Handshake serves as the sole centralized listing of student employment opportunities, thereby creating a fair method for students to become aware of opportunities to work on campus.

Departments are highly encouraged to develop a job description for all student positions. A well-written job description helps the manager recruit qualified applicants and helps the student clearly understand what is expected of them. Once developed, it is the department's responsibility to keep record of these job descriptions.
Items to include in a job description:
Job Roles and Expectations: All student employment positions should have up-to-date job descriptions that accurately describe the expectations and role of each student employee. It is the manager's responsibility to ensure that job descriptions are developed and that each student employee is informed of his/her responsibilities and expectations.
