Recruiting at Michigan State University

Michigan State University is strongly committed to ensuring all students have equitable access to career opportunities. We encourage all employers to post internship and job opportunities through MSU’s online career management system, Handshake.

Post Opportunities on Handshake

All internships, co-ops, and full-time positions should be posted on Handshake: https://msu.joinhandshake.com/edu

• New employers can create a Handshake Employer account using the link above.
• Once your account is approved, you will be able to post positions and register for career fairs.
• Existing Handshake employers should contact Jill Cords, CANR Career Consultant, at jcords@msu.edu or 517-355-0234 for assistance creating a staff login within an existing employer account.

School of Packaging Career Fairs

Career fairs are an excellent way to connect with students seeking internships and entry-level positions. The MSU School of Packaging hosts two career fairs each year, held in October and March.

Employer registration for all career fairs is completed online through Handshake: https://msu.joinhandshake.com/edu/career_fairs/60388

Build Your Brand and Increase Visibility

One of the most effective ways to increase visibility on campus is by connecting with student organizations. Employers are encouraged to engage with packaging-focused student groups to explore involvement opportunities.

You may contact the Packaging Student Organization, Michigan State University Packaging Society (MSUPS) to discuss student engagement and brand development opportunities: https://msupackagingsociety.wixsite.com/msuedu
