Funding Support

Harold Alfond Center for the Advancement of Maine’s Workforce has partnered with the University of Maine and industry leaders across the state to offer eligible Mainers high-quality, short-term workforce training at a significantly reduced cost.

In order to participate, your employer will need to become a Maine Workforce Development Compact (MWDC) member. The MWDC is open to all companies in Maine and can provide additional resources for small- and mid-sized companies.

MWDC member employees may be eligible for 50% matching funds—up to $1,200 annually—to help cover the cost of professional training and workforce development programs. It is estimated that 85–90% of Maine’s workforce qualifies for this funding opportunity.

To learn more about funding and eligibility, visit the MWDC website or email mccsalfondtraining@mainecc.edu.

Note: The University of Maine System does not administer the Harold Alfond Center for the Advancement of Maine’s Workforce or the Maine Workforce Development Center and can not make any guarantees about employer, applicant, or program eligibility.
