Kettering University's National Co-op Employment Fair Hangs ``Full'' Sign With Almost 100 Employers Coming to Flint, Mich., With Jobs on Thursday, April 3

FLINT, Mich.--(Business Wire)--
There's some positive job news swirling in the Midwest this week
-- Kettering University's National Co-op Employment Fair has so many
employers (almost 100!) coming to Flint, Mich., on Thursday, April 3,
that the University has hung a "sold out" sign on its spring job fair.

The job fair is closed to the public and only available for
Kettering co-op students.

"This event is the largest employment fair in the history of
Kettering University," said Venetia Petteway, corporate relations
executive. "The job response for Kettering's talented co-op students
has been tremendous."

Almost 100 employers will be collecting resumes from more than 250
co-op students from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Connie and Jim John
Recreation Center. Fifty companies will then conduct in-person
interviews from 3-5 p.m. The students are either entering freshmen or
current students seeking employment or re-assignment.

"I think that even though the economy has been challenging,
employers are recognizing that it is vital to invest in their future
human resources," Petteway said. "Students bring creativity and help
companies move forward in the development of new products and
services." Petteway also credits Kettering alumni for some of the
event's success. "I'm seeing more and more alumni reaching back to
campus to open doors of opportunity for students," she added.
