Welcome to the Bureau of Labor Education

Bureau of Labor Education, a part of UMaine’s Division of Lifelong Learning, stands against racism:
The Division of Lifelong Learning stands against systemic racism, violence, and injustice and is committed to the University of Maine’s core values of inclusion, diversity, and anti-racism. In our mission to expand access to UMaine’s educational offerings and resources, we serve the needs of diverse learners and support a safe and welcoming community. Therefore, we continue to examine our organization, our actions, and our role in rebuilding systems that are fair and equitable for all people, regardless of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, disability, or nationality.
