Maine DOL Apprenticeship Program Annual Reports

This page contains links to Annual Reports for the Maine Apprenticeship Program.

Excerpt from 2023 report: “Registered Apprenticeships are a vital part of Maine’s economy – they provide career pathways to high-quality jobs that allow apprentices to earn while they learn. Employers hone their future workforce by developing programs in which workers perform required duties while learning skills needed for higher-level performance. Since 1941, these registered apprenticeships have been part of the Maine Apprenticeship Program (MAP).

The MAP is governed by Maine Statute Title 26 Chapter 37 § 3202 and Title 29 Parts 29 and 30 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations. Registered apprenticeships require at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job training and a minimum of 144 hours formal coursework for each year of the apprenticeship. MAP continues to innovate and adapt to meet employers’ needs for skilled labor and workers’ needs for good wages with a clearly defined pathway to career advancement.”
