Exciting news! PNM is partnering with IBEW Local 611 to launch the Power Pros program, training high school students for high-demand electric utility careers. PNM is investing $1 million in high school students, paving their way to careers in the electric utility industry. Thank you to ACE Leadership High School for hosting this event and becoming one of several other schools to implement the program. Together, we’re building a skilled workforce and establish a robust pipeline of skilled tradespeople who will drive innovation, support local industries, and contribute to a thriving New Mexico. #PoweringNMTogether

More than 500 employee volunteers participated in PNM’s Day of Service. Volunteers helping more than 50 local nonprofits like Mandy's Farm in Albuquerque, The Food Depot in Santa Fe, Childhaven in Farmington, and several others around the state.

Last week the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center officially opened their new Indian Pueblo Entrepreneur Complex (IPEC). PNM donated $100,000 to help fund construction of the new IPEC Commercial Kitchen. The complex will provide opportunities in New Mexico’s food and agriculture industries. The complex will now be a resource for Native and local entrepreneurs to chase their dreams in a professional kitchen.

KPC had the honor of hosting Jason Okumura, 377th MSG Commander, Kirtland Air Force Base and Amanda Aragon of NewMexicoKidsCAN to discuss the state of education in New Mexico and its impact on military connected children. We were grateful to have such knowledgeable and passionate speakers share their insights with us. Thank you to everyone who attended and showed their support for our children's education. We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) for graciously hosting the event and for their continuous support of KPC. The Department of Defense now scores bases based on their quality of life initiatives, which includes education. It is crucial that we continue to prioritize and improve the education system in our state, not just for our military families, but for the success of our community as a whole. Let's continue to work together to provide the best opportunities for our children. #KPC #nmkidscan #KirtlandAFB #nmeducation #militaryfamilies #PNM #qualityoflife
