ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. There are lots of science, technology, engineering and math-related jobs available in New Mexico, but companies seeking potential employees need better ways to connect with STEM professionals.
To help bridge the divide, the University of New Mexico’s Alumni Association and STEM Boomerang which works to hook up in-state and out-of-state STEM professionals with local employers will offer a STEM-focused career fair Thursday for UNM alumni, students approaching graduation, and their spouses and partners. The online event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will feature presentations by 17 companies looking for talented employees in the space, biotechnology and general technology industries in New Mexico.
