Way In — home

Let us show you theWay In

The job board for UC Santa Cruz students. Build projects with other students, and recruiters see what you made.

You don’t have to know what you want yet. Way In reads every board it can reach — the company sites, the labs, the campus — and puts the real ones in front of you: on your own campus, that names your major, missing exactly what you do, that fits between classes, hiring its first person, two doors down. Each one scored against you. You see them one at a time, and decide.

Because you’re into: Research · Data · Course credit

5 roles open right now.

Campus jobs, internships, research and student projects, pulled every morning from six sources and filtered to what a student can actually take.

Work together on new opportunities.

Post a project or join one. What you build with other students goes on your record, signed off by the people you built it with — where recruiters can see it.

What it becomes

A record: each project dated when it shipped, confirmed by the people who were there. This is what a recruiter opens.

For recruiters and labs

Hire from the record, not the resume.

Post a role and it reaches the students it fits. Then sort the applicants the way a stack of resumes can’t be sorted — by what they shipped and what was notable, each entry confirmed by the people they built it with.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us.

Yes. Looking needs no account and costs nothing; applying, saving and posting a project are free too. It is built for students first and will stay that way.

Two places. Some are posted here directly — by labs, local businesses and students looking for collaborators. The rest are pulled every morning from public boards: UCSC Academic Recruit and the careers pages of companies on Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, SmartRecruiters and Workday. Every pulled listing links back to the original posting, and when one disappears upstream it is closed here rather than deleted, because someone may be halfway through applying.

No. The whole board is public: search it, filter it, sort it, and read any listing in full without signing in. An account is for the things that need to know who you are — applying, saving, messaging a lab, and having each listing read against your own major, skills and hours.

UC Santa Cruz, for now. The campus listings and the student projects are UCSC’s; the company roles are the ones a UCSC student can actually apply to. Other campuses come after this one works.

Every morning. Each source is re-read on its own schedule between 6 and 8 am Pacific; new roles appear, changed ones update, and anything gone upstream is closed. The posted date on a card is the source’s own, not the day it was pulled.
