BDN reports UMaine a partner in career network to attract, retain employees
The Bangor Daily News reported the University of Maine is partnering with Maine Career Connect to create a network to help attract and retain employees at Maine businesses. Maine Career Connect (MCC) is a nonprofit organization working with businesses to ease the transition into Maine for those hired from out-of-state, according to the BDN. The Dual Career Network educates businesses on how to attract and retain employees and help their families transition to Maine. The network will host free monthly workshops beginning July 18. Michelle Hale, senior human relations partner at UMaine and a project leader for the network, told the BDN the first meeting will focus on MCC’s Partner Accommodation Program and how businesses can implement it. Following meetings will be determined by members’ interests.
