The Purdue University Calumet Manufacturing Industry Job Fair scheduled to be held next week has been postponed.

The fair, which was to be held Tuesday (4/14) afternoon on campus, has become a casualty of the slow economy. Plans call for the fair to be rescheduled in October.

“Regrettably, the manufacturing industry is suffering during these difficult economic times,” Purdue Calumet Director of Career Services Shelly Robinson said. “We look forward to holding this job fair next fall and will continue to register employers interested in participating.”

Fair co-sponsors are Purdue Calumet’s Office of Career Services and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.
