- CEW Workshops
Periodic workshops for U-M employees are sponsored by the Center for the Education of Women (CEW); these workshops are also open to men. Dates/times of future workshops will be shared with you via the RIF Communications e-mail group. As a staff member affected by RIF status, none of the programs will cost more than $25.00 and payment options are as follows: fee covered by department (P-Card information); personal pay; or contact CEW and inquire about a program fee scholarship. There continues to be no cost for individual counseling appointments.For more information about CEW go to: http://www.umich.edu/~cew/
- Temporary Staffing Services (TSS)
TSS
works with departments to find candidates to meet departmental temporary staffing needs. RIFs, as well as external applicants, may be employed. To be considered, you will need to complete a temporary application and provide a resume. For more information about TSS go to: http://hr.umich.edu/temps
(Note: accepting a temporary U-M position does not jeopardize your RIF Status)
- U-M Email/Web Access
U-M email/web access should be continued for RIFs throughout the entire RIF/layoff period (up to 12 months). Without this access, RIF’d employees may not be able to view the job postings nor receive the RIF Resources e-Newsletters or other RIF Communications. If you would like to receive RIF Communications, but prefer not to use the U-M email account, please provide us with an alternate email address as follows: employment.services@umich.edu. If you are not interested in continuing to receive periodic RIF Communications emails, follow the instructions in the “Subscriber” section at the end of each RIF Communication.
- Careers at Michigan — the New Jobs Website
The new Careers at Michigan website allows you to apply for jobs online by creating a resume on the

materials will be immediately sent to the hiring manager.
Applicants will be able to search for openings based on their
interests or even have emails sent when a job is posted that
matches their criteria. Most communication between hiring managers
and applicants will be via email.

Staff members affected by Reduction-In-Force who do not find

member is rehired into a regular position within 12 months of
the termination date, s/he may become eligible for reinstatement
of his/her orginial service date. For details, see Standard
