Workforce Development – “New rules for workforce training in education”:
- 
Workforce shortages aren’t going away and old ideas of “buckling down” aren’t solving the problem
 - 
Maine’s Community Colleges have rebuilt Maine’s talent pipeline with a new short-term workforce training platform that continues to evolve
 - 
New programs target new employees, career-changers, and incumbent workers so they have access to skills training immediately when they need it
- 
Includes stackable course work so workers who are training part time can continue their education and earn certificates in a timely manner while working.
 
 - 
 - 
Promoting custom-built short-term training which is either free or lower cost, making it more accessible for our workforce
