Veteran Employment Guidance
The University of Minnesota welcomes military veterans, service members, and their families. We understand that the skills, discipline, dedication, and leadership you developed in the service are invaluable assets.
Like the military, a career at the University is an opportunity to work where your work matters, by supporting UMN's mission of education, research, and outreach.
Here you can continue your public service at one of the world's premier public research universities. Our high employee satisfaction scores are comparable to top-performing corporations. Surveys consistently show that UMN employees are happy with their jobs, the people they work with, and the benefits they receive.
