About TIEP

Too many jobs are going unfilled in Maine due to a lack of skilled workers and the excessive debt those who possess the skills are burdened with. So, we built an alternative, our programs offer a quick and affordable entry into the workforce for learners, whether you’re seeking first-time employment, a career change, or ready to upskill. We are focused on delivering associate degrees and certificates that provide specialized industry–relevant skills and lead to job opportunities in high-demand fields throughout the state of Maine. Affordability is essential and TIEP delivers all programs at a low cost and provides access to financial aid (for those who qualify). Our unique 2-week term calendar and course offerings run from early morning into the evening allowing learners the flexibility to learn when they want. The Technical Institute is located in Freeport Hall on the Unity Environmental University, Pineland Farms campus in New Gloucester, Maine.
