Workforce Resources for Schools & Students

Are you looking for a way to support students looking to work or explore career options?

• Career Exploration - The Maine Department of Labor, Center for Workforce Research and Information produces long-term employment projections by occupation at the statewide and regional areas. These projections identify growing/declining jobs based on demographic, industrial, and technological trends, and predictions. We’ve used these projections to create a discovery dashboard for students and jobseekers to explore the many career options available to them, what the future looks like for occupations in Maine, and the educational/training requirements that are often necessary to pursue a desired career path. For the best user experience, we recommend using a computer or tablet. (Center for Workforce Research & Information)

• Maine Department of Labor - The Maine Department of Labor is working to ensure that staff, counselors, and teachers have the tools they need to empower their students as they enter the world of work and ensure that students and their families know their rights and available resources.
