The certificate 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.
The Natural Resources Management program is for students who love the outdoors and want a job taking care of it. If you love fishing, 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.

The Business Computer Certificate 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. The program emphasizes developing student skills that are useful in a business office 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. Key local employers have collaborated with us on the development of this program, ensuring that our students leave with the skills employers want.
