Today, the Career and Technical Education team at Las Cruces Public Schools partnered with New Mexico State University to host the Elevate New Mexico: Career & Energy Expo, bringing opportunity, exploration, and inspiration together in one place.
More than 1,500 students from across Southern New Mexico spent the day on the NMSU campus exploring hands-on career pathways in energy, engineering, healthcare, law enforcement, agriculture, media, and more.
Students also experienced college life firsthand, touring campus, sitting in on classes, and getting a real glimpse of their future.
Through interactive workshops, pathway tours, and a large-scale equipment expo, students connected directly with industry professionals and local businesses, gaining valuable insight into the many career opportunities available right here in New Mexico.
A huge thank you to our incredible partners, sponsors, community organizations, and LCPS staff who made today possible and who continue helping students see what’s ahead.
