The system will train about 700 rural Maine residents beginning next year for remote work jobs, such as those in medical transcription and IT support. Dan Belyea, the system s chief workforce development officer, says many positions are expected to stay remote, at least part of the time, following the pandemic. He says that could benefit rural Maine residents, who may be challenged in finding a job nearby because of a lack of transportation or childcare.
