The University of West Florida and Career Development and Community Engagement work with employers to post internships, cooperative education opportunities, volunteer and service experiences, as well as full-time and part-time jobs for UWF students and alumni. These opportunities, which shall be referred to as “employment” for the purposes of this agreement, are listed through Handshake.
- CDCE makes no particular recommendation regarding off-campus employers or agencies.
- Handshake is to be utilized to post employment opportunities only. Postings that incorporate advertisements of an organization’s goods or services will not be posted.
- The University is not responsible for the relationship between the student/alumni and the employer/agency.
- Some Handshake student profile information is self-reported. UWF students and alumni are expected to represent themselves accurately, but CDCE does not regulate student profiles.
- The University is not responsible for the safety, wages, or working conditions, or other aspects of off-campus employment or work-based or service experiences of the student/alumni.
- CDCE reserves the right to refuse to post jobs or provide services for employers that do not support the educational mission of the University.
- All positions are posted at the discretion of the CDCE staff. We will not post jobs that appear to discriminate against applicants on the basis of age, color, disability, gender (including gender identity and sex), marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, and veteran status.
