New Mexico State University Global Campus has partnered with the Albuquerque Convention Center and Associated Venues to expand educational and professional development opportunities for employees across one of New Mexico's largest hospitality and event management organizations.
The partnership adds the Albuquerque Convention Center to NMSU Global Campus' growing network of workforce and education partners, creating new pathways for employees to pursue degree programs, professional certificates and workforce-focused training designed to support career advancement.
The Albuquerque Convention Center employs more than 300 professionals in areas including venue sales and marketing, food and beverage, human resources, event operations, engineering, event management, business administration and event services. Employees support five major venues that host conferences, conventions and community events throughout the year.
The partnership builds on existing educational connections. Some convention center employees have previously completed coursework through Central New Mexico Community College, which maintains a 2+2 articulation agreement with New Mexico State University in hospitality and tourism. Through NMSU Global Campus, employees can continue their education through flexible online programs and pursue advanced credentials aligned with their career goals.
"The Albuquerque Convention Center plays an important role in supporting tourism, business and community engagement throughout New Mexico," said Andrew Sedillo, executive director of strategic initiatives and partnerships for NMSU Global Campus. "This partnership creates additional opportunities for employees to build new skills, earn credentials and advance their careers while helping meet workforce needs across the region."
The partnership aligns with NMSU Global Campus' mission to expand access to flexible online learning and workforce-focused education. Programs in business, hospitality and professional development are designed to meet the needs of working adults and organizations seeking to strengthen and develop their workforce.
