For More Information

Maine is particularly lucky to have so many education and training opportunities 'close to home'! Whether you live in southern Maine, in the mid-coast region or 'way down east' there are great schools near you.

In addition to a number of educational options that provide diplomas and degrees, training for people who are already in the workforce is also now available in both the southern and mid-coast regions.

We have worked hard to bring these training opportunities here to make lifelong learning more readily accessible. We encourage you to visit these facilities online and to contact them directly for specific information about programs, financial aid and scholarships. And be sure to ask for a tour!
