New Mexico invests in homegrown talent

Nearly $2 million just went straight into the hands of seven New Mexico companies to help train and promote local workers. This isn’t just about job skills—it’s about boosting paychecks, keeping talent in the state, and giving recent grads and veterans a real shot at high-tech careers. The Job Training Incentive Program is making it possible for folks to move up, whether they’re building space tech or working in advanced energy. With average wages rising from $20 to $28 an hour since 2018, it’s clear this approach is changing lives. What do you think—should more states follow New Mexico’s lead? #Business #NewMexico #WorkforceDevelopment
