LEWISTON — Lewiston Regional Technical Center electrical students testified before the Maine Legislature April 25 on LD 1240, which would provide CTE training options for electricians.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jim Handy, D-Lewiston, the law would credit students of a CTE electricity program with 1,000 hours of work experience; 8,000 hours are currently required for the journeyman electrician license.
The legislation would help the the students gain their journeyman license sooner while bolstering the workforce in Maine.
The visit to the State House was also an opportunity for the students to observe the legislative process.
