Built for Maine’s Career and Technical Education Requirement

August 4, 2026

Since 2017, Maine law has required every school to provide developmentally appropriate career and technical education access to students in grades 6 through 8. Maine also requires every middle and high school to connect students and families to a real employment projections dashboard, built jointly by the Department of Labor and the Department of Education. Level All’s Maine-specific tools were built to support both, free, in one place. 

Why This Matters

Maine’s Life and Career Ready standards, part of the Maine Learning Results, call for multiple pathways, real exposure to career options, and partnerships that bridge the gap between school and the working world. Most schools are asked to build this themselves, on top of everything else already on a counselor’s plate.

Built Around What Maine Actually Requires

  • Middle school CTE, made real. The Career Finder gives 6th, 7th, and 8th graders genuine exposure to career options and technical skill experimentation, meeting the spirit of Maine’s 2017 middle-school CTE law.
  • Connected to the state’s own labor market data. Maine requires schools to link students to a student career discovery dashboard showing regional job openings, education requirements, and wages. Level All’s career exploration content is built to work alongside it, not around it.
  • One dashboard for every school. Whether a single school or a full CTE region, counselors see exactly where students stand.
  • Ready-made lesson plans. Teachers get content aligned to Maine’s Life and Career Ready standards, without building it from scratch.

Coach Tip:

Maine’s middle school CTE law is about access, not just content, every student is supposed to get real exposure, not just the students whose school happened to build a strong program already.

Free and Ready When You Are

  • No cost. Every student and every school gets full access without a new line item in the budget.
