What is a dual career program?

In order to be more competitve, many higher education institutions have created dual career programs to enhance their ability to recruit and retain faculty and staff who must relocate to accept a position at their institution. These programs have been designed to assist the accompanying spouse or partner in identifying career opportunities.
