LD 177 - Apprenticeship

(2022)

An Act To Improve Labor Laws for Workers in Maine

What is the bill?

Registered apprenticeship programs train people to become highly-skilled workers through a debt-free, technologically-advanced education. In the construction industry, registered apprenticeship programs help recruit, train and retain workers under an “earn while you learn” model. Apprentices work with experienced workers during the day and take classes at night and are guaranteed increased wages as their training increases. This bill provides ongoing funding to support registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
