NTID OFFERS CAREER AWARENESS SUMMER PROGRAM FOR
HARD-OF-HEARING AND DEAF HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS
ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 10—The Explore Your Future (EYF) program is a
six-day, summer career awareness program that gives hard-of-hearing and
deaf high school juniors the opportunity to experience college life, and
perform hands-on activities to learn about different career choices like
engineering, art, business and computers. The program, held at Rochester
Institute of Technology (RIT) and its National Technical Institute for the
Deaf (NTID), helps students explore their options for the future and plan
for life after high school while having fun throughout the week.
EYF offers two sessions: one from July 16–21 and the other from July
23–28. On the final day of each session, parents are encouraged to attend
a workshop that provides them with ideas and tips to successfully prepare
their child for college.
