Dual Career Resources

Life & DC Connect is here to help you identify professional networking and career assistance in the private and public sectors, including K-12 education.  In addition to providing a unique personal approach of creating an action plan that addresses your career goals, we want to provide you with resources that currently exist that may assist you immediately. While Lehigh presents a number of strategies to address the dual career issues, the university cannot guarantee placement for faculty partners and spouses.
