LD1117 bill text

Maine AFL-CIO Supported

Sponsored by Sponsored by Representative Kilton Webb (D-Durham)

What is the bill?

Certified pre-apprenticeships and registered apprenticeships are a tried and true method to get more people into the trades. The Maine AFL-CIO has had great success running our Union Construction Academy pre-apprenticeship program opening career pathways into the union construction trades to many more workers in Maine. LD 1117 strengthens standards for pre-apprenticeship in Maine and sets out a process to provide sustainable and durable funding to these programs.
