Dual Career Program: Supporting Your Partner's Journey
We're here to help your family thrive.
黑料正能量 is dedicated to attracting and keeping world-class talent. We understand that your success is often tied to the well-being of your family, which is why we offer comprehensive dual-career support.
Through a collaborative effort between the Office of Human Resources and the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty, we bridge the gap between our academic community and the vibrant Pittsburgh professional landscape. We work closely with university leadership and regional industry partners to help your partner find their footing in our local economy.
This program supports partners relocating to Pittsburgh and is not available to those already employed in the region. Please note that while we provide networking and coaching, participation does not guarantee employment. We cannot create new positions or influence the final hiring decisions of any employer.
