Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — New Mexico has exceeded its climate and infrastructure workforce goals, training 2,809 workers for related careers. The milestone surpasses the target outlined in the governor’s workforce executive order, which called for 2,000 trained workers by the end of 2026. State agencies report $14 million in combined investments for apprenticeships, upskilling, and clean-energy training. Programs ranged from construction and natural resources to energy-efficient home technologies. Officials say the progress shows the impact of coordinated efforts between workforce agencies, educators, and employers across the state.
