CNM IS A "GO TO" SCHOOL IN NEW MEXICO FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT SPECIFIC JOB TRAINING. SCHOOL PRESIDENT KATHY WINOGRAD SAYS BY 2020, 62 PERCENT OF THE JOBS IN THE AREA WILL REQUIRE A CNM DEGREE … SO SHE SAYS THEY'RE PUTTING A LOT INTO CERTAIN PROGRAMS.
SHE SAYS ANYTHING IN THE HEALTHCARE AREA IS MAXED OUT RIGHT NOW, SO SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE LOOKING INTO WHAT PROGRAMS TO ADD THAT WILL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDENTS. WINOGRAD SAYS THEY'RE BASICALLY GUESSING AT THIS RIGHT NOW. BUT SHE SAYS WHEN SO-CALLED OBAMA CARE KICKS IN, THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR A LOT OF PROGRAMS, LIKE ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY.
OTHER AREAS WINOGRAD SAYS ARE DOING WELL INCLUDE WELDING … WHICH PAYS WELL THANKS TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IN THE STATE … AND ACCOUNTING.
