To view internships or full-time employment opportunities from off-campus employers, please use the UNT Handshake system. Employers interested in hiring SMHM students have been asked to post their jobs in Handshake. If you do not have an account in Handshake, you can create one by clicking on the link below. If you already have a Handshake account, please search for opportunities either under the “Jobs” or “Internships” categories.” Please also use the UNT SMHM Careers Group page in LinkedIn.
Employers
We appreciate your interest in hiring current School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management students and/or alumni for your employment opportunities. Employers are asked to post your available positions in our UNT Handshake system. If you already have an account in Handshake, please post your opportunities. If you do not have a Handshake account, you can set one up by following the instructions at the link below. You are also welcome to email your job postings to Dee Wilson, SMHM Career Coach for her to be aware of when meeting with students, as well as to share with our Internship Coordinators and to have posted on our social media.
The UNT School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management invites you to the SMHM Career Expo on Tuesday, September 22, 2026 at the University Union on the UNT Denton Campus.
The SMHM Career Expo combines all 5 majors in SMHM into a day of recruiting to fill your part-time, full-time, and internship position vacancies. Our 5 majors include Merchandising (Fashion or Furnishings & Décor), Digital Business & E-Commerce, Consumer Experience Management, Hospitality Management, and Event Design & Experience Management. In addition to the career fair, employers sponsoring at the Emerald and Diamond levels are also invited to a student networking luncheon. Choose your sponsorship level based on how you would like to have to interact with our students. See details below.
Because our majors must work and intern within the retail (merchandising, ecommerce, consumer experience) or hospitality/event industries as part of their graduation requirements, we must require all employers at the SMHM Career Expo to also be within these industries.
