GoogleThe job fair begins at 9 a.m. and a news conference on the PIA will start at 10 a.m. Both events will be held in Carter Hall in the University Center.
Dr. Linda L. M. Bennett, president of USI, and Duane Embree, technical director at NSWC Crane, will be available to answer questions.
Dr. Scott Gordon, dean of the Pott College of Science and Engineering, will lead a tour of one of USI's traveling laboratory STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) trucks as part of the news conference. The STEM trucks visits schools to deliver scientific equipment for teachers who request it. The PIA will expand USI's STEM reach.
Since 2007, USI and NSWC Crane have operated under a Memorandum of Understanding that has allowed USI faculty access to NSWC Crane's scientists, research equipment, and facilities. The agreement also has provided USI students with internship and job opportunities.
The collaboration has resulted in award-winning intellectual property mining events and trainings led by the University's Center for Applied Research, the establishment of STEM camps in which regional high school physics teachers work with USI faculty and NSWC Crane engineers and scientists, and Saturday's job fair, which will bring career opportunities at NSWC Crane and its contractors to the region's college graduates and students interested in internships.
The job fair is free and open to students and the community. Recruiters from various NSWC Crane units will meet with job candidates. Up to a dozen additional Crane supplier companies also will be recruiting at the fair. Co-ops and summer internships are available, as well as full-time positions for graduates and soon-to-be graduates. Crane is seeking engineering and science students and professionals.
NSWC Crane will hire in excess of 400 employees during 2010 and is interested in journeyman level scientists, engineers, and contract specialists. In addition to NSWC Crane, several military support contractors will also be seeking candidates at the job fair. These companies will be looking for entry level as well as journeyman and are also interested in technicians, logisticians, and administrative candidates.
The Crane Learning and Employment Center (CLEC) for Veterans with Disabilities also will attend the event and will be available to answer questions and provide information on the program.

This was a nice publicity stunt. There were only three contractors there besides Crane and NONE were taking resumes.....ALL were giving out web addresses on where to post your resume online. I felt bad for the guy behind me in line that drove from Louisville last night, paid $85 for a room at a hotel, and got passed a business card with a website on it. If they wanted to make this partnership announcement then they should have done so without advertising to jobseekers. I'm sure the other 400 job seekers would agree, please don't post available jobs unless they are actually available. Kinda like handing out coupons in a bread line....
