Transition to New Career Services Platform—Shocker Central
We are excited to announce that the Shocker Career Accelerator is transitioning career
services platforms from Handshake to Shocker Central (powered by 12Twenty). This change
is part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing career support for our students and
improving our overall career services infrastructure. We can't wait to unveil the
new platform soon. Faculty and staff access will be available soon—stay tuned for more details.
Why the Change?
12Twenty offers a more robust and user-friendly interface that will better serve the diverse needs of our students, alumni, employers, and the entire university community. Key benefits of 12Twenty include:
12Twenty provides comprehensive data analytics tools that will help us track and improve career outcomes for our students.
The platform allows for more customized reporting, which will enable us to better understand and respond to the career needs and trends of our student body.
With improved employer relationship management tools, 12Twenty will facilitate stronger connections between our students and potential employers.
The intuitive and user-friendly interface ensures a seamless experience for students, faculty, and staff, making the navigation and utilization of career resources easier and more efficient.
