ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Netflix invested in becoming a partner in New Mexico with a production hub located in Mesa del Sol.
A new program in collaboration with the New Mexico Film Office, will give New Mexicans with a background in accounting an opportunity to get into production accounting. It is being financed by Netflix workforce development funds.
The Production Accounting and Payroll Training Program is a five-week virtual training program, where participants will learn the ins and outs of production accounting.
“Building an end-to-end production ecosystem includes investing in industry focused workforce development and providing New Mexicans with opportunities to transfer existing skills and expertise into the industry. This Production Accounting and Payroll Training Program will do just that,” said Alicia J. Keyes, New Mexico Economic Development Department Cabinet Secretary. “The New Mexico film and television industry’s impact on the economy is significant — employing thousands of New Mexicans with well-paying jobs, providing additional revenue streams for local businesses, and building wealth for New Mexico families. A skilled, and scaled up crew base, ensures the film industry remains a pillar of New Mexico’s economy for decades to come.”
