WAGM reports Maine is now the only State in the Nation to offer a Registered Apprenticeship Program for Shellfish and Seaweed Aquaculture Technicians. Additionally, the State has recently introduced a Pre-Apprenticeship Program for Aquaculture, certified by the Government.  These two experiential learning programs have been interconnected to establish a direct career pathway in Maine’s Aquaculture Sector.  Officials say their hope is the effort will help tackle the pressing issue of a significant workforce shortage that numerous Aquaculture businesses are experiencing.  By addressing this challenge head-on, the programs aim to foster sustained growth within the sector.
