Your Future in Focus

We hope your spring semester is going well.  UNM-Taos Student Affairs and Accelerate are collaborating to bring our students a College and Career Expo: Your Future in Focus.

This event is more than a college and/or job fair.  It is an interactive educational event that will bring together UNM-Taos Programs, numerous 4-year colleges and local businesses on Tuesday April 1st from 11-2 at Bataan Hall.

Students will have the opportunity to learn how to navigate employment application and/or transfer application processes.  In addition, to learning about career opportunities with local business and agencies, we will host a panel of speakers during the lunch hour. According to a November 2013 article in Time Magazine, a recent survey found that more than 60% of employers say that job applicants lack “communication and interpersonal skills.”  We will address this issue with a panel to discuss the Importance of Soft Skills in the Workplace.

Spring Information Fairs

UNM-Taos BGP has an exciting and informative lineup of Spring Information Fairs. Attached is a flyer with days, times and locations of events.  Please email your class lists and announce these events to your students and staff and encourage them to attend the sessions. These are opportunities for our students and staff to take charge of their education and empower themselves with information.
