New "Paradigm" For Workforce

Employers Urged to Team up With Schools to Tackle Workforce Shortage
'New Paradigm' for Education in Maine
MAME participated in a press conference on Tuesday, June 25
th
hosted by Paradigm Windows in Portland to launch a new initiative in partnership with Educate Maine and the Maine State Chamber.
At the event in Portland, Lisa Martin, executive director of the Manufacturers Association of Maine, highlighted her organization's Manufacturing Career Connection program. It works with educators to attract young Mainers into manufacturing and connects diverse job applicants with manufacturing companies across Maine. And Julka Arsovski of Paradigm Windows, a member of the Manufacturers Association of Maine, spoke about how Manufacturing Career Connection is helping Paradigm find qualified job applicants.
The report published Tuesday calls for a “new paradigm” of education in Maine, designed to give students exposure to the kinds of jobs available in the economy as well as guidance about how to prepare for those jobs.
That includes equipping them with math, language, computer and other skills as well as mentoring and work experience in sectors of interest. While noting that change won’t happen in the short term, the publication showcases several case studies.

Association Health Plan (AHP)
AHP Round tables were held in June to provide pricing, more information to companies interested in signing on (need to get Claims data/statements from those that have not yet submitted ASAP).
As we move forward toward launching the Association Health Plan (AHP)—MAME Health Trust on October 1, 2019—in late June we invited companies to learn more about why it may makes financial sense to join the trust. Presenting the financial model was Brian Deveaux, CFO, Hussey Seating and Chair of the AHP Committee.
Many of you are asking if the AHP makes sense for you, many are waiting for renewal notices before deciding if it makes sense to talk to the Association about the health plan. Small group health insurance rates have been rising significantly in recent years and are expect to continue rising.
This meeting provided an overview of a financial model that can be used to do assumptions-based comparisons of the potential AHP premiums vs. traditional fully insured plan premiums over a multi-year period.
