Career Services
Let’s Get You to Work
Beyond leading the field of hospitality education, the Harrah College of Hospitality is your champion when it comes to career support and professional development. Working in tandem with UNLV Career Services, the college’s Bob Boughner Center for Career and Alumni Services helps our students and alumni access a broad range of employment information, recruitment opportunities, and tools for success.
Search for Jobs in Hospitality
UNLV’s online employment portal Handshake serves employers seeking to hire UNLV talent as well as UNLV students and alumni who are in the market for jobs and internships. The Harrah College of Hospitality's Career Services team provides a personal touch by facilitating connections between Hospitality Rebels and our industry partners.
Appointments can be scheduled through Handshake and will be conducted virtually, as walk-in appointments are not currently being accepted at the Career Services Center. Once an appointment is scheduled and approved, students will receive an email with additional information on how to access their appointment via telephone or video conference. As always, the college is committed to being a resource for our students and alumni, and we welcome your inquiries at boughnercareerservices@unlv.edu.
