Welcome!

The Dual Career Employment Assistance Program is designed to assist the partners of newly recruited or recently hired full-time faculty and staff in their search for employment and relocation to Penn State.

This site will provide you with information about the community; contacts for locating housing; links to job search sites; helpful information about CV and resume preparation; interviewing advice and tips; information on child care and elder care in the community; a link to International Scholars and Visa Services and other valuable resources at Penn State and in the Centre Region.

About the Program

Penn State recognizes that outstanding hires often have outstanding partners who can contribute their talents to the University or to other employers in the local community, as opportunities arise.

Penn State is supportive of dual career partners and established a Dual Career Program based in the Office of Human Resources in 1987. Hundreds of dual career couples have benefited from the services the Program offers.

Program Services

Services are available at any point of the recruitment process, and eligible participants can receive assistance for approximately one year after moving here or until they begin working, whichever comes first. However, the program is not one of job placement and does not guarantee employment.

The program services include information, orientation, and assistance on such things as:

  The Local Area   Penn State Employment Process
  Current Job Openings   Local Employers and Contacts
  Resume Preparation   Interview Tips
  Resume Circulation   Local Housing Contacts
  Public Services   Child and Elder Care
