Broadband Apprenticeship Information & Listening Session
June 9, 2023 at 2:30:00 PM
As part of our efforts to support the telecom industry's workforce needs, we are reaching out to ISPs and contractors for a listening/info session on Registered Apprenticeships. According to the MCA Workforce Analysis Report, we heard that managing apprenticeship applications and reporting can be time-consuming, especially for smaller businesses. The session aims to raise awareness about apprenticeships as a workforce recruitment, development, and retention strategy. It will address any concerns or challenges related to the process and share the latest resources and support systems for employers considering registered apprenticeships.
The session is organized by The Maine Connectivity Authority, Educate Maine, the Maine Department of Labor, and the Maine Community College Systems. It will take place at the Roux Institute (100 Fore St, Portland, ME 04101).
