Peer Workforce Navigator: How we work

We have a dynamic team of Peer Navigators who bring their own experiences and best practices together with the expertise, resources, and networks of their respective community organizations, and direct information and access to the Maine Department of Labor.

Our shared goals are to make sure that:

• Every worker in Maine has access to the opportunities and supports they need;
• Eligible unemployed and underemployed Mainers can get unemployment benefits; 
• Community members can plan and prepare for safe, satisfying and secure working lives.  

First, we want to listen and learn about your workforce goals. We work together to make a plan, with you in the driver’s seat, to support you in meeting your goals and overcoming barriers that might get in your way. 

We hope we can contribute our experience, expertise, and resources in a way that helps you both get by and get ahead. 

A Peer Navigator can connect with you in person, by phone, by email, by text or WhatsApp. Do you want to connect to a Navigator? Is there someone you know who would appreciate these services? We’d love to hear from you!
