If you’re looking for an immersive, educational, and real world experience this summer, RIT Certified’s High School Pro Advantage program is a great choice. This summer, we’re offering a range of courses that cover different fields, so no matter where your interests lie, there’s a course for you. Each course offers an introduction to the basics of the field as well as real world hands-on experience so you can test out what a future in that field may look like.

Is This Program For You?

If you’re a rising sophomore, junior, or senior, RIT Certified’s High School Pro Advantage programs will immerse you into different industries so you can get an idea of what a career in that field looks like. These fast-paced, experience based programs cover a range of topics from politics to engineering to animation, and each will introduce you to the basics of the field as well as give you an idea of what career paths are available.

What You’ll Learn

Each course has been uniquely designed and constructed to best fit the field of study, so no two courses are exactly alike. However, in every course you’ll find real-world experiences and hands-on learning opportunities, so you’ll have more than just theoretical knowledge of the field your course is in. At their core, each course is an introduction to the field as a whole as well as an introduction to what a future in that field can look like.

How You’ll Learn

Each course will run for five consecutive days from 9 am to 5 pm, and will be offered in one of two sessions for the summer of 2024: 

  • July 15, 2024 - July 19, 2024

  • July 22, 2024 - July 26, 2024

 

RIT Certified will be offering both commuter and residential options for these sessions, so if you’re local you’re able to go home every day, but if you’re from out of town you’ll be able to stay in the dorms on RIT’s beautiful campus.

Depending on the course you’re enrolled in, your day to day will look very different. Some courses involve field trips, guest speakers, and work in different locations around the RIT campus to access specialized labs and equipment. Across all of the courses, you’ll find that the main thing they all have in common is letting you get hands-on, real world experience in your field of interest.
