ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Like many other states, New Mexico's older population is expected to dramatically increase as a percentage of the state's overall population by 2030. That's why CNM Ingenuity, an economic development arm of Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), has acquired New Mexico-New Elder World (NM-NEW), a non-profit organization that proactively engages New Mexico residents who are age 50-to 70-plus through work, mentoring and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Key Points: 
  • Keeping older New Mexicans engaged in the community and economy will be increasingly important for the New Mexico economy due to drastic shifts in the state's age demographics.

  • The older adult population can also become students themselves as they look to reskill or upskill to pursue their next endeavor.
  • A community college managing a program like this for older adults will also be of interest as a potential model for other regions and states facing similar challenges.
