Road to Industry Program (RTIP)

_{This program is an exclusive, high-impact, multi-year experience designed to assist participants in reaching post-graduation success. First-year participants are assigned a career success strategist for three years and paired with an industry mentor during year two of the program. Students will clarify their career goals, have access to unique recruiting resources to unlock internship experiences, and engage in opportunities designed to make them more competitive in their future career pursuits. The world of work is complex, but the onramp to success doesn't have to be through the Road to Industry Program.}

_{Students that participate in RTIPs will have special access to a cohort student model consisting of ongoing sessions with an assigned career advisor, unique networking opportunities with employers, 1-on-1 mentoring with alumni, credit-bearing course options, priority access to career fairs, five stamps in the #Rutgersworks Free Tuition Challenge for each completed semester, and special stole at graduation.}

All Rutgers University-New Brunswick first-year undergraduate students enrolled full-time are encouraged to apply for the program. Students do not need to declare a major but should be enthusiastic about exploring career options and committed to long-term participation.

Applications for this program will open up on October 1, 2022 and will close on November 15, 2022. There are two steps in the RTIPs application process. Applicants will be required to complete an online application and submit an interview clip using Big Interview.
