Trades Education and Jobs for Northern New Mexico
Voters in Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, and Taos Counties approved Northern's Mill Levy ballot initiative to bring new trades programs to the region and revitalize its El Rito Campus.
The Mill Levy provides $2.4 Million annually to establish and sustain associate degree programs in key trades, including plumbing/pipefitting and electrical at its El Rito and Española campuses.
With the initiative, the College is working to create a skilled local workforce to meet employer needs and to support economic development for Northern New Mexico through strong community partnerships.
