SOUTHFIELD, Mich., April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, announced today it is sponsoring and attending the National Society of Black Engineers’ (NSBE) 47th Annual Convention, held virtually this year April 5-9. DENSO’s support is part of the company’s continued focus on improving diversity and inclusion (D&I) not just within its own walls, but across the automotive industry.
“Mobility is constantly evolving,” said Denise Carlson, vice president of DENSO’s North American Production Innovation Center and the company’s executive lead for D&I. “In order to meet its changing demands, we are building teams with people who have dynamic backgrounds and perspectives, which helps us innovate more quickly and create more impactful solutions. It’s why we’re at NSBE, and it’s crucial to our future success.”
During the event, DENSO will look to hire nearly 100 co-ops and interns for summer 2021, fall 2021 and spring 2022. Roles will be available at various DENSO locations, including the company’s North American headquarters in Southfield, Michigan; its thermal manufacturing facility in Battle Creek, Michigan; and its manufacturing facilities in Osceola, Arkansas, and in Athens and Maryville, Tennessee.

Hired co-ops, interns and IGNITE Program members will join engineers, production teams and many more at DENSO who work together every day to develop technologies that are green, meaning environmentally friendly, and offer peace of mind, meaning safe for all. These principles guide the company as it works to create a safer, cleaner and more efficient mobility future for all.
With employee safety being the company’s highest priority, DENSO has implemented strict safety measures at its locations to mitigate the risks of COVID-19. Further, DENSO empowers its employees who can work remotely to develop with their teams hybrid schedules of remote and in-office work. This gives our workforce more flexibility, helps lower facility populations and enhances safety protocols for those on-site. DENSO continues to monitor local situations and updates its policies as conditions change.
NSBE is a national nonprofit committed to graduating 10,000 black engineers annually by 2025. Its annual event draws more than 12,000 engineers, educators and representatives from academic institutions, government agencies, corporations and other nonprofit organizations.
