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 organization
- determine units that match the spouse or partner's skills and interests
- identify potential internal career opportunities

Resources to Help Spouse or Partner Explore Employment Opportunities
- Learn as much as you can about the organization's products and purpose by reviewing its website and other published materials. The James J. Hill Reference Library is an excellent source for business information.
