Battle Creek Regional Job Fair begins at 1 p.m. downtown
The Battle Creek Regional Job Fair starts today at 1 p.m.
The spring 2013 Battle Creek Regional Job Fair runs from 1 to 4 p.m. today at the McCamly Plaza Hotel, 50 Capital Ave. SW, Battle Creek.
Kellogg Community College is one of several sponsors of the event, which is the third of what has become a biannual occurrence since the inaugural job fair was held last spring in the Student Center on KCC’s North Avenue campus.
Last fall the event was held at Burnham Brook Community Center, and there were lines of people winding around the block with hundreds of individuals hoping to land work at one of the dozens of employers represented at the fair.
Patrick Casey, director of Career and Employment Services at KCC and an organizer of the job fair, said with just over three dozen participating employers this year’s job fair is on par with the one held last spring.
That job fair drew 500 to 600 people, Casey said, but only around 15 percent of the job seekers had KCC affiliations. He hopes that percentage is higher for today’s event, he said, especially for those students approaching graduation and looking to enter the job market.

KCC to host career fair for future corrections officers Jan. 16
KCC is hosting a career fair Wednesday to help people learn more about working in the corrections field.
Kellogg Community College is hosting a career fair from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16, to help people learn more about working in the corrections field.
The career fair is being held at KCC’s Grahl Center, 125 Seeley St., Coldwater, in anticipation of the State of Michigan hiring hundreds of additional corrections officers over the next year. The college hosted two similar fairs in November in Battle Creek and Coldwater.
Representatives from the Michigan Department of Corrections will be available at the career fair, as will representatives from KCC’s Student Employment Services and Financial Aid offices.
“It’s exciting that the State of Michigan is ramping up its hiring and we at KCC want to do everything we can to help people in our communities obtain those jobs,” said Ronald Ivey, director of KCC’s Criminal Justice programs.
Nationally, corrections officers earn a median $39,020 annually and the occupation is expected to grow 5 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Job seekers who attend the career fair also will receive information about KCC’s Criminal Justice courses, five of which are designed to be completed together on a fast-track basis to certify future corrections officers and prepare them to take a state exam required for employment. The five-course certification will be offered at the Grahl Center on weekday evenings over a 15-week period beginning this month.
