This on-the-job training focuses on NM residents, working primarily in technical positions. FCAP provides as 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. 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.
