Best of all, Handshake is FREE to employers. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 616-632-2126 or email careerservices@aquinas.edu

Our job shadowing program connects alumni and students during spring and fall break. Get details about our Take a Saint to Work Job Shadow Program or discover more on the Aquinas College Alumni Home Page.
Mentorship Opportunities
Generation Swap Program
As part of a NetVUE Vocation Across the Academy Grant, Aquinas College located in Grand Rapids, MI, partnered with Generation Swap to create a career exploration course and podcast dedicated to discussing life’s journey and the undeniable value we offer one another.
Aquinas students and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) participants connect during a career course to chat about life’s journey. Discussions ranging from values, passions, work, leadership, and citizenship are enhanced through guest speakers and one-on-one conversations.
