SUMMARY:Maine Businesses: Dirigo and Workforce Funds for Your Employee Training
DESCRIPTION:Maine employers are navigating rapid change\, including AI adoption\, automation\, new regulations\, and ongoing workforce shortages\, while also trying to make smart investments in their people. Fortunately\, Maine offers programs designed to help offset the cost of training. \nIn this webinar\, leaders from Northeastern University’s Roux Institute\, the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development\, and the Maine Workforce Development Compact will walk through how Maine employers can access and apply these programs to support workforce upskilling. \nThe session will cover:  \n\nThe Dirigo Business Incentives Program\, a sector specific State of Maine tax credit\nThe Maine Workforce Development Compact\, a training incentive program offered through the Maine Community College System\nWhere they differ & how they can be combined\nWhat timelines and expectations employers should plan for\nHow training providers\, like the Roux Institute\, can support businesses in designing eligible\, high-impact programs. \n\nAttendees will leave with a clear understanding of what is available now\, what to plan for later in 2026\, and how to prepare their organization to take advantage of these incentives and training. \n  \nAbout the Dirigo Business Incentives Program\nThe Dirigo Business Incentives Program is a sector specific State of Maine tax credit that helps eligible businesses offset the cost of future employee training and capital investment. Companies in qualifying industries can receive a $2\,000 tax credit per trained employee for a qualified employee training program\, including education or training provided by accredited Maine universities and colleges and training approved for funding by the Maine Workforce Development Compact as well as up to a 10% tax credit on a significant capital investment. The program is designed to encourage workforce upskilling and capital investment while reducing the financial burden on businesses. \nThe State launched a Dirigo value estimator tool that allows businesses to quickly calculate the potential tax credit available based on their planned training and capital investments. \nAbout the Maine Workforce Development Compact\nThe Maine Workforce Development Compact is a training incentive program offered through the Maine Community College System that provides up to $1\,200 per employee in matching grant funds for approved workforce training. MWDC supports a wide range of internal and third-party training programs and\, when approved\, can also count toward eligibility for Dirigo Business Incentives\, allowing businesses to stack benefits. \n\nAbout the Roux Institute’s Training Programs\nThe Roux Institute at Northeastern University designs and delivers workforce training programs that align with Maine’s funding requirements. As an accredited Maine university\, Roux programs qualify under the Dirigo Business Incentives Program and may also be approved through the Maine Workforce Development Compact. \nOur Custom Learning offerings include structured\, cohort-based programs in: \n\nAI adoption and applied automation\nDigital transformation and data strategy\nOperational efficiency and process improvement\nLeadership and workforce productivity\n\nPrograms are designed to meet required training hour thresholds and documentation standards\, helping employers ensure eligibility while building durable skills within their teams. \nRoux works directly with employers to: \n\nScope eligible training programs\nAlign curriculum with workforce funding criteria\nStructure timelines around certification requirements\nDeliver measurable\, high-impact learning experiences\n\n  \nPresenters: \nDan Koloski \nProfessor of the Practice & Head of Learning Programs \nNortheastern University \nDan Koloski is the head of learning programs and professor of the practice in the College of Professional Studies (CPS) at Northeastern University’s Roux Institute.

SUMMARY:Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course
DESCRIPTION:WFA is a two-day course and focuses on the basic skills of: Response and Assessment\, Musculoskeletal Injuries\, Environmental Emergencies\, Soft Tissue Injuries\, and Medical Emergencies. It will run from approximately 9:00am – 4:00pm on BOTH Saturday and Sunday\, November 15th and 16th. Registration is required. Ability to attend both Saturday and Sunday is required. The course is a mix of classroom instruction and skills training. We use scenarios (where you may be a pretend patient!)\, demonstrations\, and hands-on exercises to emphasize the material. WFA is the perfect course for someone interested in what it takes to provide patient care in an outdoor environment\, when resources are limited\, and help may be far away. WFA is great for the outdoor enthusiast\, trip leader\, or for anyone interested in learning more about patient care! Upon course completion you’ll receive a SOLO Wilderness First Aid certification which is good for two years.
