Abstract

The 65-year-old Maine Apprenticeship Program installs apprentices in full-time, paying jobs and helps subsidize related school tuition. Drop-out rates of around 50 percent and a stagnating budget are restraining the program from expanding and reinventing itself to fit the needs of a modern economy. With details on the program, statistics on the number of apprentices by trade, and a look at the national rise in apprenticeships.
