Maine Points: Maine Department Of Labor

Danny speaks with Christopher Quint, Director, State Workforce Board with The Maine Department of Labor.

The Maine State Workforce Board will be hosting a five-part webinar series to highlight workforce opportunities, discuss how to break down barriers to attracting and hiring different communities, and share best practices, challenges, and innovations in creating a more inclusive, sustainable workforce.
The webinars will be focused on strategies for attracting and accommodating workers from a variety of populations that make up our communities, such as older workers, New Mainers, people with disabilities, those in the re-entry community, and those in recovery.

The webinars will begin on February 21, 2024 from 12-1 p.m. with the topic of hiring, retaining and supporting older workers.
