Las Cruces, Santa Teresa businesses get state training funds

Posted

The Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP), an initiative of the New Mexico Economic Development Department (NMEDD), approved funding in March 2023 for more than 100 trainees at businesses in Las Cruces and Santa Teresa, NMEDD said in a news release.

Electronic Caregiver, Inc. (ECG) received JTIP funds for 73 trainees at an average wage of $23.18 for a total award of $628,404, NMEDD said. ECG is a digital health technology and service company in Las Cruces.

“The company’s mission is to design and deliver innovative, impactful telehealth products and services such as remote patient monitoring, chronic care management and virtual visits that bridge the chasm between the doctor’s office and patient’s home to improve outcomes, expand access, and deliver value-based care,” NMEDD said.

Franklin Mountain Packaging, LLC (FMP) in Santa Teresa received JTIP funding for 55 trainees at an average wage of $17.39 for a total award of $565,202, the news release said.

“FMP is a newly formed company engaged in the manufacturing of corrugated sheets and providing unique digital printing services for the corrugated box-making industry,” NMEDD said. “FMP will target sheet converting plants in the Southwestern US and the maquiladoras and Mexican domestic market.”

JTIP funds are paid after all employee training is complete, the news release said.

JTIP “encourages companies to move to, stay in, and/or grow in New Mexico and to hire New Mexican employees,” NMEDD said.
