"By being trained on skills such as heavy equipment and welding, I really felt like I had become more marketable. I liked welding so much that I was inspired to enroll in welding school at UNM, and I'm hopeful that that route will lead to bigger and better things for me. Thank you to the Industrial Workforce Program for being a huge part of this new path."
We not only work with you to build programs that deliver exactly the entry-level candidates you need - we even work to determine you're eligibility for pay reimbursement on up to 75% of new hires' wages for up to 6 months.
