Efficiency Maine and the Community College Workforce

Through a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), four Maine community colleges are implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy workforce development programs. The intent behind these grants is to:

A. Provide training and education in occupational fields related to energy efficiency and renewable energy.

B. Support certification in these fields that will link to future career development such as degree programs.

C. Encourage on-campus “laboratories” that will provide experiential training in energy efficient practices and related technologies.

D. Tailor programs to proven Maine workforce needs

E. Encourage collaboration and communication among the community college system in addressing these workforce needs.
