In 1984, a partnership was developed between San Juan College (SJC) and the Public Service Company of New Mexico's (PNM) San Juan Generating Plant. An agreement was reached to promote training through a planned educational experience in which SJC awarded credit for courses taught by PNM training personnel. The program began in response to the need for an industrial instrumentation program that would meet PNM's needs, and proved so successful it was expanded into apprenticeship programs in eight crafts. This expansion involved the development of curricula for each craft; the establishment of associate of applied science degree programs; the preparation of an informational handbook, job training sheets, class/work schedules, and progress/status sheets; and the establishment of policies and procedures. In light of the success of this partnership program, in 1985 SJC entered into a partnership with the Arizona Public Service Company to provide training for apprentices in the electrical, instrumentation, and machinist crafts and established an Industrial Management program at PNM to serve blue collar as well as low and mid-management employees. SJC is continuing the development of its partnerships, looking at clerical positions, security guards, management, and childcare as possible areas for future program development. (EJV)
