RIT provides training in a variety of majors, and many of them are technically-oriented, such as business, computers, imaging and publishing, art, engineering and science. Employers gain temporary, cost-effective, qualified help, during which time they can assess students' work performance, and decide whether to hire the student for permanent employment upon graduation. New ideas are infused into the organization as well as adding a diversity dimension to the workforce. Different deaf people use different modes of communication. Some use sign language.
Interactive writing is another way to communicate, by paper and pencil, or by fax or computer.

NCE employment specialists can help through job postings, resume packages, and on-campus orientation and recruitment supported by interpreting services. All rights reserved.
