BUSINESS COMPUTERS
The Business Computer Certifi cate Program consists of hands-on training to prepare students for employment, whether in Northern New Mexico or as remote workers. This program also provides a basis for further study. Key local employers have collaborated with us on the development of this program, ensuring that our students leave with the skills employers want. The program emphasizes developing student skills that are useful in a business o ce environment, including using desktop- and web-based applications as well as crucial internet and information literacy skills. Students may choose from electives that expand their knowledge of business and communications skills, or they may focus on further developing their computer skills through electives from the Computer Technology Program core courses.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The certifi cate in Information Technology Support provides students with core IT knowledge and technical support skills that lead to positions in local businesses or remote companies. These courses prepare students to pass tests to obtain a range of industry recognized credentials, covering topics such as Help Desk support, Systems Administration, Networking, Security, and Cloud Technologies. Students will also learn how to apply these skills in a tech support environment, developing the crucial interpersonal skills that will enable them to be valued team members for any organization.
NATURAL RESOURCES
The Natural Resources Management program within the Math & Sciences Department is for students who love the outdoors and want a job taking care of it. If you love fi shing, hiking, and camping, then this is the program for you. We provide you with the education you need to understand environments, human impacts, and management approaches to protect and preserve wildlife, water, and land resources. We partner with federal agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and local organizations such as Taos Land Trust to provide students with hands-on experience and skills. We support students through transfer to regional colleges/universities to complete bachelor’s degrees. We have an excellent track record of job placement after earning a degree.
HOLISTIC HEALTH
The Certifi cate in Holistic Health and Healing Arts (HHHA) lays the groundwork for careers in holistic health and the healing arts while familiarizing students with practices that promote self-healing, longevity, and vitality.
This 30-credit certifi cate has two main tracks: students may take courses from a variety of healing modalities, or they may focus on yoga via the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training track.
Our students, who are of all ages and from all walks of life, work toward the HHHA Certifi cate for a variety of reasons.
COMMUNITY WELLNESS
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline health workers who are trusted members of the communities they serve.
CHWs improve the health and wellbeing of their fellow community members and their community overall. They work and volunteer in community and clinical settings helping people of all ages get the services, knowledge, and tools that they need to live their best lives.
At a broader level, CHWs work with community members and leaders to promote a health community environment, social justice, and health equity for all. The program is endorsed by the New Mexico Department of Health.
