NMEDD: Job Training Funds Approved For 165 New Jobs

NMEDD News:

SANTA FE — The New Mexico Economic Development Department Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) board has approved funding for 20 New Mexico companies to train 104 new employees and 24 interns, for a total of $2.5 million in May.

JTIP awarded $1.4 million to nine companies in March for an additional 61 trainees and 1 intern, Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes said Tuesday.

The average hourly wage for the May jobs is $31.01 with positions ranging from $17 an hour to $61 an hour.

“These companies offer careers in robotics, artificial intelligence, aeronautics medical research and more. This is economic development we need as we diversify into high-tech, high-paying jobs for New Mexicans, and it comes at a time when job expansion could not be more critical,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said. 

“The job training awards demonstrate that New Mexico is becoming an even more attractive place where companies want to relocate and expand — and with that bring high-paying jobs,” said Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes of the Economic Development Department. “These incentives we can offer and others are vital right now so businesses can move past this uncertainty and into a period of sustained recovery.”
