State officials are trying to make it easier for people to find jobs in Maine’s clean energy sector. The Governor’s Energy Office on Wednesday launched the Maine Clean Energy Jobs Network, a recruiting tool to connect skilled jobseekers with clean energy employers and training programs. The jobs network also will help immigrant workers access resources in their native languages. The state announced the jobs initiative two weeks after releasing a study touting Maine’s “clean energy economy,” saying it accounted for 15,000 jobs at the end of 2022.
