Building your career at Michigan begins with knowing the right resources — here are three, to help you get started. The first one helps you through the steps you need to facilitate your professional growth. The second, the Career Path Navigator, illustrates real career paths that people have taken at the University of Michigan. The third is designed to assist the partners of U‑M faculty or staff members with a variety of job search resources. Additional Resources links to a compilation of valuable Web sites.
Resources for Career Development
University Human Resources provides resources for Career Development including career self-assessment, university resources, job search tools and career planning information.
Career Path Navigator
Designed as a general guide to assist in your personal career planning, the Career Path Navigator shows how positions at U‑M relate to other careers in the university. It helps to show the potential career path for a specific job. Additionally, you can see actual career transitions (promotions as well as transitioning careers) made by university staff members.
Resources for Partners
Whether you are considering a move to the University of Michigan or you are already in the Ann Arbor area, University Human Resources provides job search information and resources for partners of U‑M faculty or staff members.
