This page was created with you in mind: workers displaced by the economic crisis, looking for guidance, and wanting to start a new, steady, higher-paying job in a short amount of time.

Tuition Assistance

The New Mexico Workforce Connection centers in the Central Region can provide access for up to $9,000 in tuition assistance. There is also up to $15,000 available in tuition assistance to those individuals who pursue “stackable credentials.” Stackable credentials can be a combination of many things but can include a bootcamp coupled with an industry-recognized certification.
