The Education & Employment Information Center (EEIC) is a statewide referral service of the Office of Financial & Academic Affairs for Higher Education. We are a central source of free information for anyone who has questions about college, careers and job training

The EEIC hotline operates from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays except holidays. A trained information specialist will either answer your question immediately or direct you to the proper source.

We can tell you about educational offerings at all levels including college, adult, continuing education and job training programs. We also provide career information, such as job descriptions and services designed to help you find a job. We do not collect job listings, but we can tell you where to find them.

Most of the EEIC’s callers are adults looking for retraining or new careers. The EEIC also helps teenagers making college or career decisions, unemployed or dislocated workers exploring job options, adults who have not completed high school, homemakers looking to return to college or the job market, professionals making mid-life career changes, senior citizens wishing to enrich their lives with new knowledge, and employers seeking training programs or recent college graduates.

Call the EEIC toll-free hotline, email us at edinfo@ctdhe.org or browse our many publications for useful references.
