Governor's Training Initiative (GTI)

  • Contribute at least 50% of the premium cost of employee health insurance, unless yours is a small business with fewer than 25 employees and have been in business fewer than three years
  • Commit to long-term operation in Maine


Training services eligible for reimbursement include:
  • high performance skills training
  • technical training
  • on-the-job training
