Wind Technology Training Coming To Moriarty
by John Weckerle
Residents of the Estancia Valley and the surrounding area will soon have the opportunity to receive specialized training in the area of wind energy technology, according to a recent press release issued by Mesalands Community College in Tucumcari.
The program comes as a cooperative effort between Mesalands, the Estancia Valley Economic Development Association, the City of Moriarty, and the New Mexico Workforce Connection of Central New Mexico. According to Nroth American Wind Research and Training Center Director Jim Morgan “This pilot project provides the essential technical courses needed to assist students in obtaining a wind industry job and in turn supply area wind farms with wind energy technicians that will already have basic knowledge of the industry.” Courses will cover safety issues, and will include subjects such as basic electricity, mechanics, hydraulics, and turbine safety. Classes for the 8-week training program will be held in Moriarty, and some training will take place at the NAWRTC, including climbing the college’s 1.5 megawatt wind turbine. Students who successfully complete the program will receive an Occupational Certificate in Basic Wind Energy Technology.
Those interested in applying should contact the New Mexico Workforce Connection of Central New Mexico at 832-6774.
According to the Mesalands wind energy technology program web site, the college also offers an Associate of Applied Science degree in Wind Energy Technology, as well as customized training programs. Completion of the NAWRTC facility is scheduled for September 2010, and Mesalands has already installed a 1.5 MW General Electric wind turbine.

An Experiment…
by John Weckerle
While the economy is improving somewhat, unemployment is higher than any of us would want, so we’re going to run a little trial here at New Mexico Central. Once a week, we’re going to run classified-style employment ads free of charge. We’ll try this for a week or two, and then evaluate it to see if it’s worthwhile to continue. Employers seeking applicants may send the following information to editor@nm-central.com by Friday of each week and we will try to post it early the following week:
- Name of company
- Contact phone number and name
- Brief description of position (about 50 words)
- Address to which resumes, etc. should be sent (snail and e-mail)
We won’t be posting links to corporate/organizational web sites, as we’re trying to run a sort of free “classified jobs article” rather than create a link farm situation. We will consider posting links to specific job announcements or job descriptions on others’ web sites; however, we will not be posting detailed descriptions directly on the NM-Central.com web site. Announcements must be for real jobs that are currently available and employers must identify themselves, as we are trying to connect people with jobs and are not looking to facilitate corporate “fishing expeditions.” New Mexico Central accepts no responsibility for the veracity of the information provided in the ads or the employment practices of employers providing us with announcements.

So, You Want To Be In Pictures?
by John Weckerle
A background casting call for “Did You Hear About The Morgans?” starring Hugh Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Sam Elliot will be held in Santa Fe this Sunday at The Lodge at Santa Fe from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Shooting will be from May 5 to June 5, in Santa Fe, Galisteo, Los Alamos, and Roy, NM. Pay is $9.50, with overtime after 8 hours. The producers are looking for Western/cowboy/cowgirl/rural/rodeo types, and I imagine that a good bunch of our local folks fall into at least one of those categories. They’re also looking for pictures of pickup trucks and horse trailers for potential participation in the film. For more information, see the announcement.

Youth Job Opportunities At Wildlife West
by John Weckerle
Each summer, Wildlife West Nature Park in Edgewood provides employment to young people age 14 to 25 in cooperation with the New Mexico Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) program. These jobs not only give participants the chance to earn money, but provide an opportunity to acquire a wide variety of skills and learn about the park’s animals and the ecological aspects of wildlife. The work is broad in scope: the participants may find themselves maintaining trails, guiding tours, assisting zookeepers, building habitats (in fact, the zoo has essentially been built by young people), and much more.
Recruiting for this summer’s program has begun. Applicants must send a resume and two references to the Park by March 15, 2009 to apply for employment this summer. For more information, contact the Park at (505) 281-7655.
