Jump Start Your Career
Today more than ever, one of the most important things you can do to ensure your success is to pursue a career-oriented education. Your education must be relevant. It must prepare you for the real challenges and opportunities you will experience once you graduate.
As a career-focused university, RIT will provide you with the finest career preparation to give you a competitive edge when you graduate. As an RIT student, you may join a team solving business problems through industry-sponsored classroom projects, or work alongside a faculty member on a research project funded by an international company or organization.
You’ll also get hands-on experience in your field through a cooperative work experience and apply what you’re learning in the classroom to real-world projects.
Individual Career Guidance
Employment specialists in the
NTID Co-op and Career Center
are assigned to your academic program and will work with you individually throughout your time at RIT. NCCC staff provide a number of services for you before and during your co-op job search — and after you’re hired. Services include providing student and graduate employment advising, and assisting students with job search preparation services such as conducting practice job interviews and helping prepare resumes and cover letters. NCCC staff also network with employers across the country to develop opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing students and graduates.
You’ll Benefit in Very Real Ways
A degree from RIT will take you where you want to go. We are committed to making sure you’re prepared for career success. Deaf and hard-of-hearing students graduate from RIT with the knowledge and skills they need to contribute immediately to the marketplace — no matter where their ambitions take them.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing RIT graduates are working at places such as NASA, Microsoft, U.S. Department of Defense, Bank of NY Mellon, Merck & Co., Sprint, JP Morgan Chase and many other corporations and organizations across the country. They’re making their mark in engineering, business, science, information technology and the arts, as well as in the environmental field and many other areas. We're proud of our successful students and alumni and love to tell
their stories
