Roll over the pictures on the left to learn more about our programs and services.

Have you ever considered a career in the trades? In technical fields? In transportation?

Then you've come to the right place! Our mission is to improve the economic well-being of Maine women, minorities, and displaced workers by providing access to trade, technical, and transportation careers, and by providing you support once you get there.

We offer both basic and advanced training, job-placement assistance, advocacy, and networking opportunities. You can count on us for information on careers in construction and related fields, and we provide assistance to employers looking for a twenty-first century workforce.

All services are available to members of our JobBank, and joining is easy and free. We will ask you to fill out a form, and then arrange an interview for you to speak with our Career Development and Training Director.

Most of our trainings are free to our JobBank members. Occasionally we charge small fees; these may be waived in cases of financial need. All of our trainings require a small registration fee which is always returned if you successfully complete the course. Sometimes we offer events that are open to the general public, like our ever-popular, always-rocking Introduction to Heavy Equipment ; registration fees are required for these as well. Check out our "Events and Trainings" pages to see what we have on tap!

We partner with the Maine Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration to place our JobBank members into On-The-Job Training (OJT) positions. You can learn more about this program by clicking on the "hard hat" link on the left.

Each year, we host a Maine Tradeswomen's Conference with workshops, discussion groups, good eating, and a whole lot of fun! Look at our Maine Tradeswomen's page for details ( updated in late winter for the next spring's Conference). Thanks to everyone who turned out for the '08 Conference - it was a blast!

We also organize "field trips" to job sites so you can get an up-close look at the opportunities that are out there in construction.

We work hard to reach all in Maine who might need our services, and that includes prison outreach. We touch the lives of hundreds each year.

If you've thought about apprenticeships in the trades, we can help you out there as well.
