Lawrence Tech, Oakland U team up for job fair

Lawrence Technological and Oakland universities are showing a little regional cooperation in joining forces for one big job fair on Tuesday, September 22.The Tech x 2 Expo = OU + LTU job fair will be for college students at the two universities who are majoring in engineering, computer science, and technology disciplines or have recently graduated with degrees in those fields. “It’s a convenience for the employers,” says Eric Pope, a spokesman for Lawrence Tech. “Instead of going to two job fairs they can go to one.”Both schools have held a variety of jobs fairs for both students and regular workers this year. To register, companies should go to and click on the employer icon. Companies already on CareerQuest should visit the Lawrence Tech site and log on to their accounts.The job fair will be held at Oakland University in Auburn Hills (a map is available here) between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. There will also be a lunch from 1-2 p.m. Registration for employers starts at 8 a.m. and costs $225.For information, call Lawrence Tech’s Office of Career Services at (248) 204-3140 or the Office of Career Services at Oakland University at (248) 370-3250, or send an email to ltuocs@ltu.edu or ketelsen@oakland.edu.Source: Eric Pope, spokesman for Lawrence Technological UniversityWriter: Jon Zemke
