FCAP application must be submitted 30 calendar days prior to commencement of any FCAP eligible training. The FCAP grant agreement can be amended within the 1st week of filming.

This on-the-job training focuses on NM residents, working primarily in technical positions. FCAP provides an incentive for participating companies to create job opportunities for New Mexico residents to advance their careers. All FCAP participants must have a mentor. The FCAP program provides a 50% reimbursement of the qualifying participants’ wages for up to 1040 hours physically worked by the crew member. Companies are approved by the Chair of the JTIP Board. For example a NM Grip who is ready to move up to the Best Boy position would qualify. The Key Grip would be that crew member’s mentor.

-1040 hours is the max allowed.
-Hours may be updated if the FCAP trainee has “open” hours from another production.
-Only hours physically worked will be approved (i.e. standard time, over time, 6th day, etc.).
-Hourly wage must be consistent.
-Benefits, kit rentals, etc. are not allowed.
-If you are not receiving FCAP emails from NMFO or Salesforce, please check your SPAM or JUNK folders. You will need to permit/allow the emails from nmfilm.com.
