We cannot reimburse participants for trainings for which they have already paid, but we can examine additional tuition moving forward. This program pays for books, tuition, and course fees, but not deposits or registration fees that are not part of the course curriculum.

1. be a Maine resident currently working in a patient-facing, healthcare job or have previously worked in the healthcare field

2. be taking a training on the priority occupations training list found on the homepage of the website (certificates only – no associate/bachelor’s degrees)
