Career Development
Alumni Career Services & Opportunities
As a graduate of Manhattan University you still have access to Career Development tools. We also invite you to explore the many opportunities you have to help your fellow Jaspers.
Ways Alumni Can Help Fellow Jaspers
Find out ways you can help fellow Jaspers with their careers, from posting job openings at your company, to participating in our mentor program or career fair.
Post Job & Internship Opportunities
Hire fellow Jaspers! Support Manhattan University students and alumni by posting full-time, part-time, internship, and temporary listings on our job board, Handshake.
Serve on our Careers & Coffee Alumni Speaker Panel Series
During these fun and participatory panels, you and other alumni in your field visit campus and share the ins and outs of working in your industry, helping students learn more about their career options and gain a true idea of what to expect.
Become a Mentor
We're always looking for new mentors in all fields to assist students in our Mentor Program. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, learn more about the mentor program.
Attend Career Fair
You can support students and fellow Jasper alumni by participating at our career fairs as an exhibiting employer, or as a job seeker.

Join the Manhattan University LinkedIn Network
Help us expand our online Manhattan University community by joining these two LinkedIn groups:
Offer a Site Visit and/or Job Shadowing
Inviting students for a site visit or job shadowing at your workplace allows them to learn what goes on in at real work setting. It is less time and commitment intensive than the Mentor Program, but can be very beneficial to many students.
If you are interested in participating, please email careerdevelopment@manhattan.edu.
