Handshake EDU partner product updates—October 2, 2026

Group appointments [Beta launched October 1]

Now live in beta, career centers can set up group appointment sessions through Events, but the student booking flow puts group and 1:1 options side by side. Recurring event scheduling and post-event surveys, which can be used for all event types, make facilitating these group appointment sessions easier.

Career center custom name [Launched September 14]

Schools can now customize the name of their career center in a banner on the new student homepage. Updating the name can be done by users with the permission to manage school settings. The banner also promotes career center services, like appointments and collections, putting school resources front and center so students can easily find what's available to them.
