2. This will take you to the "Invited Schools" tab in the Edit tab. Click on Add School in the upper-right of that page. 

3. Select the desired school you would like to invite to the event from the dropdown, then check the box to confirm that you have connected with the school and have their approval to proceed. Click Invite to post the event to the school.

​Note: you will not be able to invite other schools to an employer's virtual event. Only Premium employers are able to add more than one school to a virtual event. 

Share a fair with another school or Handshake Open Network

Share your fair with the Handshake Open Network

If you'd like your fair to be discoverable to the Handshake Open Network (verified students that go to a school that hasn't partnered with us yet, please make sure to check Allow students from other schools to attend, located on the Edit tab of your fair. This will make the fair discoverable to those students.

Note:  You will not be able to share an Event or Career Fair with the Handshake Open Network only, however, if you mark a fair as "allow students from other schools to attend", it will be discoverable by Handshake Open students. 

Invite a specific school to participate in your fair

1. Click the plus under Invited Schools (hover your mouse next to the school name to see the plus).

2. This will take you to the "Invited Schools" tab in the Edit tab. Click on Add School in the upper-right of that page. 

3. Select the desired school you would like to invite to the career fair from the dropdown, then check the box to confirm that you have connected with the school and have their approval to proceed. Click Invite to post the fair to the school.

Sharing an Invite-only fair with other schools 

If you'd like to share an invite-only fair (virtual or in-person) with other schools, please make sure that the above steps for inviting a school have been taken first and foremost, in addition to the fair being marked as "invite-only". 

In order for students at other schools to discover the fair, they will have to have the fair's direct link. Your school will need to share the fair link with those students - the method of sharing is up to your team.

• If the school is a Handshake partner, you could ask their Career Services team to share the link with their students via Targeted Email. 
• If the school is not yet a Handshake partner, you can advertise the link through other methods, such as your website, social media, etc.
