SANTA FE – The New Mexico Human Services Department (HSD) is partnering with the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) to provide services to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) participants who qualify for the New Mexico Works employment programs, Career Link and Wage Subsidy. These two programs provide employment opportunities to TANF participants that will give them the work experience needed to obtain full time unsubsidized employment.
“This collaboration is designed to combine the expertise of each agency to strengthen and improve the workforce by matching unemployed New Mexicans with employers who need to hire and retain skilled workers,” said Human Services Secretary David Scrase, M.D.
