Employers: Connect with Job Seekers and Strengthen the Direct Support Workforce
Direct Support jobs are truly the backbone of Maine’s workforce. As an employer in this field, you play a vital role in helping job seekers find work that’s meaningful.
The State of Maine launched Careers with Purpose to help job seekers explore opportunities in Direct Support, and to give employers like you tools to reach the right candidates. Here’s how you can get involved:
Make sure your open positions are listed on this site
Job seekers are actively using this platform to explore careers in Direct Support. Make sure your openings are on Maine Job Link with the Maine Department of Labor so we can promote them on our site! Email healthcaretrainingforme.dol@maine.gov to get started.
Share our job quiz
We created a short quiz to help individuals find their fit in Direct Support roles. Sharing the quiz on your social media or website can help boost awareness and draw in people who might not realize they’re a great match for the field.
Use our stories—or share your own
We’re highlighting real experiences from people to help job seekers see the impact and value of this career. Use the stories featured on this site in your outreach—or encourage your own team to share their story with us and be featured.
