Handshake career spark awards 2025 powering the future of work

The Hiatt Career Center has been honored with a 2025 Handshake Career Spark Award! Handshake is the largest, most diverse early talent network in the US, connecting 75% of all US college students through their school's career center with one million employers actively recruiting on the platform.

The Career Spark Awards celebrate top career centers’ achievements in three key areas—student engagement, employer engagement, and reporting and analytics. Out of 1,500+ schools using Handshake, we’re proud to be one of 40 institutions recognized this year. 

This award recognizes our efforts to offer students relevant and dependable support as they transition from college to their careers. It exemplifies the Hiatt Career Center’s ongoing commitment to empowering students to explore their goals, gain experience, and confidently take their next steps after Brandeis.

 “Brandeis stands out on Handshake for fostering robust employer engagement and thoughtfully curating high-impact opportunities, empowering students to explore meaningful career pathways and supporting the early success of their students.”
