RITE Site Visit Program (RSVP)

RITE SITE VISIT PROGRAM

Students – See an IT career in action and imagine your potential future.

Would you like to see what it is like to work for an IT employer? Do you want to gain insider knowledge about the IT industry directly from the professionals who work there?

A RITE Site Visit is a structured field trip to a local company that employs IT professionals. The program features a variety of Northeast Ohio businesses in a range of industry sectors.

You will learn first-hand about the company and how it uses technology in its business. And, you will get to interact with the professionals from that company and hear about various IT career paths.

This behind-the-scenes experience gives you a glimpse of what might await you if you pursue a career in IT.

Teachers – Enlighten your students about IT employers.

RSVP is available for up to 25 students and their adult sponsor/teachers. Options include half day or morning only. Although the specifics of each site visit depend on the host company, a typical site visit looks like the following:

“We had an amazing time! Everything went very well and the students really learned some good material.”

— Ronald Suchy, Info Technology & Prog Teacher, Mayfield Excel TECC, Mayfield City schools

“The site visit was awesome. We were unable to see the lockbox, but the students enjoyed the presentations and learned a lot about technology and banking. Michael Slama and his colleagues were very hospitable. They sat with the students during lunch and had great conversations. Thank you for the opportunity to expose my students to this.”
