Jobs! We've got those!

High school seniors accepted to Kettering University get to experience something that rarely happens to students at other universities--  they can begin a professional cooperative education job search before their freshman year even starts! This is a powerful advantage.

Kettering's co-op companies realize that your son or daughter is a teenager who has probably never held a professional-level job before. They know that this truly is a training and learning process for these young people. But what an awesome way for students to learn how to become educated, professional adults! 

There are several ways that students accepted to Kettering for the year 2013 may begin a job search:

  1. Contact your Kettering Co-op Manager.  Every new Kettering student has been assigned a manager whose role it is to provide assistance throughout this process.  Meet the co-op staff.
  2. Starting in April, students will have access to the "live" job postings in our intranet tool called Kettering Connect.  Students have received a log-in, password, and instructions on how to access Kettering Connect. 
  3. Employment Fair on March 20th!  Is your student's resume ready?  He or she can register to attend the Kettering Employment fair this month. Over 100 companies will be in attendance--  companies who are ready to meet our new incoming freshmen. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to begin building their confidence, and to begin learning how to interact with the co-op companies.

The cooperative education program at Kettering provides students the opportunity to gain REAL work experience. Co-op enhances the learning and laboratory experiences that take place on campus. Kettering students are able to build resumes and professional networks that will be the envy of their peers at other universities.
