More than 25 employers are scheduled to participate at Oakland Job Hub 2012: Where Oakland Employers Meet SE Michigan Job Seekers. Employers claim to have immediate job openings in technology, engineering, business and other skilled areas.
“We are very pleased with employer interest in Oakland Job Hub 2012 thus far,” says Laurie Johnson, Auburn Hills’ Economic Development Coordinator , “and all indications are that we will have another successful event where companies are presented with eager and qualified candidates who want to continue their careers in Southeast Michigan.”
The positions employers are seeking to fill are varied and include software engineer, network engineer, JAVA developer, business analyst, controls engineer, field service engineer, machine operator, skilled trades, project manager, customer service rep and mechanical engineer, according to event organizers.
Rochelle Freeman, Business Development Manager for the City of Southfield, says participating cities have rallied to support the Job Hub. These communities include Auburn Hills, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Madison Heights, Southfield, Troy, Farmington Hills and Novi, as well as Oakland County Michigan Works!, Oakland Community College, Lawrence Technological University and host sponsor, Oakland University.
According to organizers there is still time to participate in the Oakland Job Hub 2012. Pre-registration for interested companies is required and registration information for both employers and employees can be found at www.mijobhub.com. Staffing companies may not participate in the Job Hub unless they have verification of a large customer contract that begins in the immediate future and requires placement of at least one year. Job seekers are encouraged to register by February 16.
