How MQC Works |
Read Charles Lawton's column on the Maine Quality Centers and how they are working with Maine businesses to address workforce development needs.
The Maine Quality Centers’ mission is to encourage businesses to locate or expand operations in Maine by providing customized workforce training at no cost to the business or to trainees. Our education and training programs are coordinated and delivered through Maine's seven community colleges.
