“New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment for a reason. Although traditionally considered one of the more economically challenged states in the nation, we are rich in other ways and have a vast wealth of untapped talent thanks to a community steeped in culture, creativity, resourcefulness, and resiliency. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty and open space, our independent-spirit and dedication to family and community are still very much alive and well in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. This provides the perfect seed-bed for exceptional innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration.We are excited to join the TechHire community at this exciting time of growth and inspiration, as New Mexico TechWorks endeavors to strengthen the Emergent Media and Technology industries, bridge economic gaps, and expand access to training and employment opportunities that will allow employers to hire local talent while enriching our quality of life and providing meaningful and rewarding careers for our community members - so we can stay and live and work in a place we love…New Mexico!”
