CENT for CTE—Supporting maine's cte programs Flyer

Participating ABC member firms commit to paying .01 cents per work hour in support of scholarships and books for construction programming in Maine’s Career and Technical Education schools. Participating member firms will track their work hours (they must be tracked for workers' compensation reporting anyway). Work hours can be tracked and paid every quarter. Member firms email the total work hours to ABC, and ABC will create the invoice.

Here are some examples based on the number of employees a member company has: Member company has ten employees X 2,000 hours per year = 20,000 work hours per year times .01 cents per hour = $200.00 Member company has 25 employees X 2,000 hours per year = 50,000 work hours per year times .01 cents per hour = $500.00 Member company has 50 employees X 2,000 hours per year = 100,000 work hours per year times .01 cents per hour = $1,000.00

Notes about the program:

  • Simple to participate
  • Based on the honor system for reporting hours worked
  • Helps support Career and Technical Education schools with books for programs
  • One Penny per hour worked can help shape tomorrow’s workforce
