Workforce Resources for Schools & Students

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

• Student Career Discovery Dashboard - The Maine Department of Labor’s Center for Workforce Research and Information has created a student career discovery dashboard that presents data on in-demand jobs and wages in a manner that is accessible to students in grades 6-12.

  
  Students can explore these data in a variety of ways, such as by geographic region, career clusters of occupations with similar features, and the typical educational requirement of the career. Students can find information about the role of each career cluster in Maine’s economy with a specific data point, like how many jobs there are today, what Maine workers earn in their careers, and how many job openings are projected in the next ten years.

• 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.
