State labor department allocates half a million dollars towards Northern New Mexico Youth Foundation
Here's the scoop:
The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) recently dropped a half-million dollars on the Northern New Mexico Youth Fund, aiming to prep underprivileged youngsters for careers in non-extractive sectors. That's right, we're talking about education, healthcare, tech, and more!
NMDWS is taking a stand against exploiting the earth's resources, focusing instead on empowering the region's youth with the education and skills they need to secure quality, long-lasting gigs—all to foster sustainable economic growth.
These resources will offer growth opportunities in modernizing grid systems, dabbling in renewables, and combating climate change, according to the press release. And the best part? The program is open to individuals aged 13 to 29, providing ample time to take advantage of these life-changing chances.
This ain't just some random belief from the NMDWS; it's the first state agency contributing to this youth fund. Evidently, they're dedicated to lightening the path for underrepresented populations to make a splash in these burgeoning industries.
While the specific programs and partners weren't dished out in the sources, rest assured that the focus remains on whipping those underserved youth into shape. Now get ready to go forth and take on the world, Northern New Mexico!
