Career Transitions Resources
Opportunities at Penn State
Employees at Commonwealth Campuses may look to continue their Penn State career at another location. Employees whose campuses are ultimately selected for closure will be given priority consideration for job opportunities at other University locations.
Employees can create a job alert within Workday to let them know new job postings are available matching their criteria. Job alerts can be customized to desired Job Profiles, locations, remote versus in-person work, and full- and part-time roles.
Once an employee selects a job posting of interest, they can apply internally through Workday.
Opportunities beyond Penn State
The Penn State Alumni Association’s Alumni Career Services office is making free resources available including job search tools, events and webinars, networking and other services.
Academic Resources
For tenured, tenure-line and non-tenure-line faculty, Penn State Faculty Affairs will be offering a series of online webinars on career transitions, coping with change, and navigating the transition, among other topics.
