The AQ Advantage Center

Our office almost exclusively uses the platform Handshake to promote all available job, internship and volunteer opportunities for students. Employers can create and manage their own company profile, allowing them to post opportunities and see upcoming campus events.

Getting Started with Handshake - Employers

If you are a local community member looking to hire an Aquinas student for a private household position such as babysitting or tutoring, please fill out our Google Form.
