How will you benefit?
The New Mexico Career Clusters Guidebook does three things:
- Highlights the businesses and industries that are growing in New Mexico and that provide good career opportunities;
- States how much education you'll need for jobs in those industries;
- Shows which educational programs or "career pathways" are available to train you to work in those jobs.
"For communities to move forward they must look at what they do have and not be deterred by what they don't have.
The Rural Revitalization Project is helping communities conduct interest inventories - not needs assessments."

New Mexico Career Clusters is breaking new ground.
It's a government initiative that brings together all of the state's workforce partners:
- Youth and Family Services
- Colleges and Universities
- Economic Development
- Public Schools
- Labor and Employment
- Social Services
- Workforce Training
These agencies are working together and with people in the community for the first time in state history to plan for a better New Mexico economy and create good jobs and the opportunity for a well-paying career for you and your family.
