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.
