Employment Partners

The organizations below are available to help the spouse or partner of a new U of M faculty or staff member:

• learn more about their organizations;
• determine units that have functions that correspond with the spouse's/partner's skills and interests; and
• identify potential internal career opportunities.

Note: Contacting these organizations does not guarantee that you will be given an interview for an open position.

Contacting an Organization

To contact an organization:

• Learn as much as you can about the organization by reviewing its website and other published materials. The James J. Hill Reference Library is an excellent source for business information. Do NOT contact an organization until you are knowledgeable about its products, purposes, etc.
• Determine which organizations are a good “fit” for you. Read the Workplace Values Assessment for guidance.
• Call or email the organization's designated University liaison. Tell the liaison about your affiliation with the University and that you received her/his contact information through the Relocation Assistance Program.
• The liaison will then work directly with you. RAP will not be involved with ongoing contacts. You are responsible for future correspondence with the organization.
• Provide RAP with a very brief summary of your contacts.
