Salida campus dean

In the heart of Colorado’s high country, where ski lifts hum in winter and construction crews hustle in the summer sun, skilled workers keep our mountain communities running. These women and men — mechanics, lift operators, carpenters, welders, electricians, firefighters — aren’t just filling jobs. They’re building our economies, sustaining our way of life, and anchoring our rural communities in dignity and purpose. At Colorado Mountain College Leadville, we take this responsibility seriously.
