Emergent Campus Trinidad

About The Trinidad Campus

Trinidad, Colorado boasts a vibrant arts scene, outdoor recreation, a state college, and a growing small business sector, yet greater opportunities remain untapped. High-paying remote tech jobs are abundant, but access to these careers often feels out of reach for local youth.

Emergent Campus Trinidad provides a proven model for job placement and economic growth, positioning the city as an innovation hub where new employers, drawn by lower costs, create pathways for students into high-wage industries—fueling the next wave of rural-connected startups and businesses.

Why Work With Us?

Struggling with economic instability, rural Southern Colorado needs new pathways to high-paying, sustainable careers. As the region shifts from extraction industries, tech offers a chance to diversify the economy, boost wages, and improve quality of life.

Emergent Campus Trinidad (ECT) provides a solution by:

  • Expanding the I-25 tech corridor, connecting the region to capital, expertise, and remote jobs.
  • Offering move-in-ready space for tech businesses and remote workers.
  • Partnering with the City of Trinidad to strengthen economic development.
  • Providing access to a $9M upgraded library with a makerspace and training rooms.
  • Creating job pathways through employer partnerships.
  • Attracting talent with stunning views of Fishers Peak State Park.

With major investments and state-of-the-art facilities, ECT is driving economic revitalization and positioning Trinidad as a hub for future-focused industries.
