Anderson School to Host Native American Career Fair

The 3rd Annual Native American Career Fair will take place on Thursday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Jackson Student Center located west of the Anderson School of Management on the UNM Campus.

The career fair will include recruiters from Native American organizations and tribal entities, which are sometimes absent from mainstream career fairs, giving them the opportunity to recruit from a large number of highly qualified individuals who will soon receive their college degrees. The fair will also feature Non-Native organizations looking to hire new employees.

Employers scheduled to attend the fair include: the Pueblo of Laguna, Sandia Pueblo, Jicarilla Apache Energy Corporation, Chickasaw Nation, Hewlett-Packard, Transportation Security Administration, and Verizon Wireless.

The career fair is open to all people regardless of race or ethnicity. Participants are encouraged to bring a resume and professional attire is recommended.

The event is sponsored by the New Mexico Human Services Department Working Disabled Individuals Program, the Department of Interior Office of the Special Trustee, and the American Indian Business Association at the Anderson School of Management. For more information, visit: AIBA.
