Maine Lifelong Learning Accounts

Lifelong learning accounts help employees and employers work together to finance skill development and lifelong learning. LILAs are designed to make education and training opportunities more accessible to working adults.

LiLAs are individual investment accounts, matched by the employer, to finance lifelong learning.

  • Funds are invested in a LiLA account (in the form of a NextGen R account) for the employee’s higher education expenses.
  • Outreach and informational sessions are provided by Maine CareerCenters.
  • Free advising services to assist men and women in education and career planning are available through Maine Centers for Women, Work and Community.
