Hi George,

I hope that everything turned out well with the accreditation visit in September. I am currently looking for two (2), full-time, permanent employees in the Maintenance Department at FedEx Ground here in KC. I know you are wrapping up the fall semester and this would be an excellent opportunity to place a couple of fall graduates in employment. I would be most interested in EET or MET graduates. If there are those that will be graduating in the spring semester that are also looking for full time employment, I can make modest accommodations to their work schedules so that they can finish their degrees as well.

Attached is the job description. Those interested can apply at the following website;

In the drop down menus to the right of this page, select “United States” ”Missouri”  “Maintenance”  “FedEx Ground”.

Thanks and I hope to hear from some of your students/graduates, regarding interest in this position.
