"Summer Academy offers Mainers affiliated with JMG the opportunity to gain hands-on, in-demand skills through free short-term training programs designed to lead directly to employment. Hosted on-campus at Maine’s community colleges, these immersive programs provide real-world experience in fields like healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, welding, and technology.
Programs start in June and July, giving students the chance to earn industry-recognized credentials before the fall. Many programs connect students directly with employers, offering interviews and job placement opportunities upon completion. Some campuses—including Central Maine, Eastern Maine, Southern Maine, and Washington County Community Colleges—also offer free lodging on a first-come, first-served basis. Students can choose to stay on campus for a full college-life experience or commute from home."
