Career Coaching for Alumni

All alumni of the College of Fine Arts can utilize free career coaching from COFA Career Services. To schedule an appointment, you must make an account on the 12twenty@Texas career management platform, which launched in June 2025 to replace Handshake. In addition to being where you book sessions with our coaches, 12twenty@Texas has other incredible resources, such as job and career event listings. We are excited to support you no matter where you are on your career journey.

Alumni 12twenty@Texas Account Setup:

• If you already had an alumni account set up on Handshake prior to the launch of 12twenty@Texas in June 2025, then you should be able to log right in to 12twenty to claim/activate your account there.
• If you have never had an alumni account on Handshake, please fill out this support form, and the UT Career Success team will work to get you set up with a 12twenty@Texas alumni account.
