Northern Tier Industry & Education Consortium

Support Our High School Students! 

The Northern Tier Industry & Education Consortium (NTIEC) was founded in 1993 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit school-to-work organization dedicated to serving students across the Northern Tier by bridging the gap between education and employment.

Our mission is simple but powerful:

To create a highly skilled workforce in Northeastern Pennsylvania by integrating school, employment, and training opportunities.

We believe students who gain first-hand exposure to real career opportunities are better equipped to make informed educational and workforce decisions, decisions that strengthen not only their futures, but our local economy as well.

Through internships, job shadows, externships, summer career experiences, and hands-on industry programming, we are actively preparing students for in-demand careers right here in our region.

Why NEPA Gives Matters

As a small nonprofit organization, we rely on community support to:

• Reduce costs to participating schools
• Expand access to career programming
• Ensure every student, regardless of background, has access to meaningful workforce experiences

Supporting 23 school districts across Bradford, Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Tioga, and Wyoming counties, including:

Athens, Blue Ridge, Dallas, Elk Lake, Faith Mountain Christian Academy, Forest City Regional, Hazleton Academy of the Sciences, Lackawanna Trail, Lakeland, Mid Valley, Montrose Area, Mountain View, Northeast Bradford, Northern Tioga, Old Forge, Southern Tioga, Susquehanna Community, Troy, and Wellsboro School Districts.

Your support will help local students gain real-world experience, build employability skills, and connect with employers in their own community while strengthening our region's future workforce.

Together, we can invest in our students, our employers, and our regional economy!
