Local CareerCenters
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) reformed federal employment, training, adult education, and vocational rehabilitation programs by creating an integrated "one-stop" system of workforce investment and education services for adults, dislocated workers, and youth.
The Maine workforce system comprises 4 regions or Local Workforce Investment Boards. These regions utilize a network of 12 full-service CareerCenters with additional service points and partner providers located throughout the state that provide services to employers and job seekers.
