There are three different types of events you can create through Handshake. Let's break these down!
On-Campus Events
An On-Campus event means that you'll go to one institution for this event, and you'll work directly with that institution to secure a space on campus for your event.
- Examples of these include: Info Session or a Panel.
- Because you'll be working directly with one institution to host this event, you'll want to make sure you list this institution in the Institution section when creating this event.
- Once you fill out the rest of the information for this event and click Save, this event request will send directly to the Institution for them to approve.
Note: The institution will need to approve this event on their end in order for students to view and RSVP to the event. We recommend working directly with the Career Centre at this institution for any assistance in regards to the event itself.
Off-Campus Events
An off-campus events means that you, as an organisation, will be hosting the event somewhere that is not on campus. Examples of this could be at a restaurant, or a coffee shop, or maybe at your own office!
Core employers are able to market one event per institution. You will need to create separate events if you'd like to request more than one of the same event to multiple institutions.
Handshake Premium Partners Workflows for Off-Campus Events
Premium employer partners are able to market one event to multiple institutions.
There are two different ways you can invite students:
- Invite students from specific institutions:
- You can still request certain institutions to approve this event, which would result in only students at those institutions to be able to attend. (e.g., if you were located in the London area, and you wanted to invite only a list of institutions based in London). Think about this as making your event invite-only.
- To do this, you'll need to add those institutions into the Institutions section of your event. This way, once institutions approve your event, any students at that institution will be able to find your event and RSVP. In other words, any students that attend institutions that are not added to this event would not be able to view or RSVP to that event.
- Invite any students from all institutions in your network:
- This option would make your event public. In order to do this, you will need to check the box under Visibility, next to the option that states Allow any Handshake student with a link to this event to view and RSVP.
- Making your event public will make it so it will not show up in specific institution's career networks. Handshake students will not be able to find your event organically - they will have to be invited and sent a link. In this case, if you select this option, you'll want to create a Segment in order to contact specific students to invite them to come out to your event. You can learn more about Segments and Campaigns here.
- This option would make your event public. In order to do this, you will need to check the box under Visibility, next to the option that states Allow any Handshake student with a link to this event to view and RSVP.
Virtual Events
While the virtual event creation process is largely the same for both Core and Premium employers, there are additional settings available for Premium. Please review the appropriate resource below for recommendations based on your Handshake subscription.
