To date, more than 4,000 people are either now enrolled in healthcare workforce programs or have completed free or reduced cost training to begin or advance their health care careers through Healthcare Training for ME.

"It just feels right going to work every day, and thats pretty nice," said Michael Allen, a firefighter with the Topsham Fire Department and one of the graduating paramedics. "I've been waiting all these years to become a paramedic, because I never had the money to do it. The tuition remission was a huge help. It was the right time and the right place, and it was just a huge accomplishment to be able to do it."

Healthcare employers, as well as current or potential healthcare workers, may be eligible to access funding through the Healthcare Training For ME partnership. To identify what supports are available, please visit the partnerships website or email [email protected].
