Many new faculty members relocate to Charlottesville with a highly qualified spouse or partner who also has a thriving and rewarding career. The UVA Dual Career Program (DCP) assists spouses or partners of UVA faculty applicants and current UVA faculty in their efforts to secure employment at UVA and/or in the private/government sectors. While the office does not guarantee placement, it offers a variety of resources to support faculty spouses and partners in their job searches.  The Dual Career Program also assists newcomers who are interested in learning about our community (schools, volunteer opportunities and activities) and getting oriented to our area.

The UVA Dual Career Program also developed Embark to showcase highly skilled job opportunities and local networking opportunities, and to serve as a resource for newcomers.
