NTL Institute in Bethel, Maine

In 1947, NTL Institute was founded in Bethel, Maine as the National Training Laboratories for Group Development, when NTL offered its first experiential human relations laboratory and pioneered the technologies of group dynamics. Bethel was the "cultural island" chosen by NTL's founders to develop, refine, and practice the T-Group methodology, which serves as the foundation for much organization development and group learning practiced today. Over 50 years later, the Bethel site continues to nurture the heart and soul of NTL Institute by providing an exceptional environment for NTL Institute to act on its commitment to innovation, theory building, dialogue, research, and new understandings.

Traditionally, NTL Institute runs programs in Bethel, Maine during the summer. Please visit our Training Locations page for specific courses and dates.
