If your company already has a Handshake profile but needs additional profiles for different locations or divisions, please contact Handshake support.

The primary contact should be the person who will supervise the intern.

If you need assistance, you may call the CU Career Services Help Desk at 303-492-4100.

Log in to your profile, select "post a job" and enter the details of the position. Once finished, select "create." You will receive an e-mail to let you know when your job has been approved and is visible to students.

Give yourself about five minutes to fill in all fields, including internship description, pay (if any), job categories (you can choose multiple categories), required documents (if applicable) and majors you’ll accept.

Note: Be sure to click on the appropriate major for your internship. You can choose all CMCI majors by selecting the College of Media, Communication and Information in the dropdown menu, or you can specify which majors within CMCI are the best fit for your internship. CMCI majors include Advertising, Public Relations and Media Design; Journalism; Media Studies; Communication; Media Production and Information Science.

Please outline the orientation, training, supervision and evaluation you’ll provide for interns.

Your intern will submit their position as an "experience" before they begin working for you.

The student will provide the name and email of their work supervisor, and you will be emailed mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluations to complete on the student's behalf, which helps CMCI understand your needs and how our interns are performing.
