Job Training Incentive Program
New Mexico has one of the most aggressive training incentive packages in the country. The Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) funds classroom and on-the-job-training for newly created jobs in expanding or relocating businesses for up to six months. The program reimburses 50 to 70 percent of employee wages and required travel expenses. Custom training at a New Mexico public educational institution may also be covered.

High-Wage Jobs Tax Credit
A bold, new incentive created in 2004 by Governor Richardson and the New Mexico Legislature, this tax credit equals 10 percent of the wages and benefits for each new economic-base job created. Qualified employers can receive the credit for up to four years. Espanola software company Computer Assets and Taos's new insurance call center CiDirect are just two examples of companies who qualify for the credit.

Companies creating new business facilities can receive a property tax exemption for up to 20 years. Albuquerque's Intel facility and the new Monarch Litho printing plant in Santa Teresa are just two companies who have been able to expand their facilities by using IRBs.
