Education

At the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico (AICCNM), we understand the importance of education in fostering success and growth within tribal-owned businesses and member-owned businesses. Our education services are specifically designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and cultural sensitivity necessary to excel in these unique environments and engage effectively with the communities, organizations, and individuals they will work with.

Through our education programs, individuals interested in employment within tribal-owned businesses and member-owned businesses gain valuable insights into the creation and operation of these organizations. We provide comprehensive training that covers various aspects of business management, including understanding tribal leadership structures, boards of directors, program directors, and community dynamics. By incorporating cultural sensitivity into our curriculum, we ensure that participants are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of working within tribal communities and honoring their traditions.

Furthermore, AICCNM is committed to supporting the growth of businesses through education. We offer information on essential policies such as the Buy Indian Act and the Indian Incentive Program, providing businesses with valuable insights into how to leverage these policies for their benefit. We aim to empower businesses with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions and maximize their opportunities for success.

In addition, we facilitate connections and collaborations by connecting businesses with other entities such as the Native American PTAC (Procurement Technical Assistance Center). These organizations specialize in assisting businesses in their startup and growth phases, providing valuable guidance, resources, and contacts. By linking businesses with these entities, we help create a supportive ecosystem that nurtures entrepreneurship and drives economic development within the American Indian community.

Through our education services, AICCNM strives to foster a well-informed and culturally aware workforce that can thrive within tribal-owned and member-owned businesses. By equipping individuals with the necessary knowledge, skills, and connections, we contribute to the growth and prosperity of businesses, strengthen communities, and honor the values and traditions of Native People. Join us on the path to success and let us guide you towards a brighter future through education.
