“When we plan our service targets for the year ahead we know that early, regular interaction with Handshake is going to be very important to enable communications, awareness and bookings. We set a tough target last year that 75% of all  students would be regularly active on Handshake and we surpassed that and have now set a tougher target of 85%.

Our students’ engagement is certainly enhanced by the fact that Handshake has been first to market with an app that speaks to GEN Z.”

“The one thing that we really wanted was for students to see a product that they wanted to use, that felt natural to them, had an app that was similar to other products and other apps that they would use.”
