We wish you all the best on your journey toward career success. West Virginia State University is proud to have had you earn your degree(s) from our esteemed institution. Our mission is to equip you to take on productive roles in society and contribute to the global economy of the 21st century.
To support this mission, the Office of Career Services invites you to complete the First Destination Survey (FDS) through Handshake. Your insights regarding your post-graduate employment or further education experiences are invaluable for future WVSU students. Rest assured, your responses will be kept confidential and no individual will be identified in the summary report.
The Office of Career Services uses the First Destination Survey (FDS) through Handshake to collect graduate data. A First Destination Survey is used to capture information regarding how new college graduates fare in their careers within six months of graduation. The initiative is to provide clear, concise, and consistent data on the outcomes associated with a college education on a national scale. All questions are compliant with NACE
If you would like assistance with your job search or career goals, please contact our office at careers@wvstateu.edu or 304-766-3250 to schedule an appointment.
