Our Approach
Scholars join RTS during their sophomore, junior or senior year and remain in the program throughout their first year of full time employment. Each scholar receives personalized career and personal development coaching, access to an extensive professional network, paid internship experiences, and annual scholarship funding to cover basic needs.
As a result of this commitment, 90% of RTS Scholars graduate from college within 4.5 years and are far more likely to secure employment. For them, what was once unimaginable is now a reality.
Resources
We believe that one of the most valuable resources we can provide is our career and personal coaching. With this 1:1 resource, our scholars gain the knowledge, skills and experience they need to make a smoother and faster transition from classroom to career. We also leverage our robust network of partners to provide resources for other pressing real world needs including housing, mental heath, clothing, transportation and so much more.
Relationships
Relationships are critical to success, especially for those whose past relationships have been inconsistent at best. We make the right introductions so that scholars can build their networks and gain social capital. Throughout their time in the program, RTS Scholars will add a minimum of 20 professionals to their networks.
Opportunities
RTS opens doors to internships and entry-level job opportunities at some of the most sought-after and prestigious workplaces. We also offer a variety of career-honing services, including career exploration, career development, and career training so that our scholars are competitive in the workforce.
