Cultivando Carreras at UTA

Career Workshop Program: Thursday, October 19 – 12 pm to 5:20 pm

Conclusion: Sixty students signed up to participate in the Cultivando Carreras: UTA Career Workshop. Our partners in the event are Talent Culture and Engagement (TCE)-Hispanic Serving Institution at UTA, Economic Development through Guidance Education Program (EDGE), Fraternity and Sorority Life, and UTA’s Career Development Center. The Latino Business Group of Arlington, Hannah Farrow from TCE, and Tailar Brown from the Center for African American Studies contributed to the collaboration. This was an opportunity for UTA students to network, learn first-hand from professionals, and develop their career skills. The Latino Business Group of Arlington members, Councilman Raul Gonzales and Brittney Dumas of BDG Consultants conducted mock interviews for our UTA students throughout the day. The lunch panel shared with students how higher education can open doors to diverse opportunities, empower individuals to reach their full potential and serve as a catalyst for positive change in both their lives and their communities. Please see below the lunch panel participants. During the introduction of each panelist, their accolades had to be shortened, and we invite you at this time to click on their profile pictures to read their complete bios.

Thank you to all who participated in Cultivando Carreras. We know that the students who participated in the event gained knowledge and skills that will help them further their future careers.
