Coalition aims to ease workforce crisis by keeping Maine college grads in Maine

Industry-funded workforce development groups Live + Work in Maine and Educate Maine have joined forces for a pilot program this fall that seeks to reduce the number of Maine college students who leave after graduation. They said Maine’s escalating labor shortage requires more creative methods of enticing recent graduates to stay in the state.

On Sept. 5th, the organizations announced their unique program which will launch on four campuses this fall.
