Online Training in Demand for IT Workers

While the State of Maine has a healthy IT industry, many workers with IT jobs are demanding training for new technology, including online training.

A recent report from the Technology Association of Maine based on a survey of 288 IT businesses found there is a demand among IT professionals for "educational opportunities, especially in the form of just-in-time skills training to address the training needs of emerging and disruptive technologies."

TechMaine, which is the statewide trade association for Maine's technology industries, created the report as part of a federally funded project to address the impact of the impending closure of the Brunswick Naval Air Station.
