Handshake - the job search platform available to all students across the district Koue Vang College divisions are required to post and advertise student help jobs in Handshake. Adoption of this new policy would not only benefit our students, it would also help departments find the best student help. Completed intent must must include Handshake job posting and student’s application from Handshake to Business Services Office. Process will be implement January 1, 2021 for ARC.
