With federal grant, Maine hopes to improve workforce data
The federal government has awarded $1 million to the Maine Department of Labor to fund data system improvements at its Center for Workforce Research.
The grant, one of 10 made to state labor agencies across the country, is designed to increase the efficiency of the center’s data systems, and ultimately the state’s workforce development programs, the U.S. Department of Labor said in a news release Tuesday.
Over the three-year life of the grant, state agencies are expected to use the funding for multiple goals, such as integrating workforce and education data, and providing user-friendly information to consumers to help them select appropriate training programs.
Maine is the only New England state to receive one of the grants, which total over $11 million.
