"Securing meaningful employment for a non-academic partner in our community is not always easy, yet the Dual Career Program is willing to explore options creatively and connect with entities across campus and in the broader community outside of the B/CS area. When partners are able to find meaningful employment or professional engagement, it significantly eases the transition and strengthens the long-term success of the hire. I strongly encourage unit leaders to reach out to Dual Career as early as possible in the recruitment process to allow the team to explore options proactively, assist in closing the hire, and provide a smoother family acclimation and sense of belonging within the community."

"Before moving to Texas, I had built a long-term career in a specialized field and felt overwhelmed by the idea of changing careers. The Dual Career Program staff was welcoming, warm, and genuinely interested in my background and goals. They gave me advice on updating my resume and the opportunity to practice interviewing, which helped put me at ease and feel prepared to interview confidently. Thanks to their support and encouragement, I was able to navigate my job search, interviewed for two positions, and received offers for both!"

"The Dual Career Program staff were very professional and diligent! After my wife was hired at Texas A&M, they invited me in for an interview, reviewed my resume, made suggestions, and sent me numerous open position within and outside of the university... As we’ve transitioned, Texas has been very friendly and inviting - we found a church, neighborhood association friends, and I volunteer with my local fraternity chapter."
