Career Development
 Let's face it! The real reason to attend a school is
for a challenging and rewarding career. Whether that means your first
job, a career change to a better job or the ability to upgrade your
current job, RSI is a stepping-stone in your career path.
RSI does
not offer a simple "job placement" service but instead we help you develop your career and give you the tools
and strategies you need to take advantage of career opportunities.
Over time, although we offer continuous career service, we hope your
success will outgrow the level of service we provide.

Students will
receive text and other material developed by RSI staff that addresses
career issues and career development. This will be a valuable resource and reference intended
to supplement classroom presentations on career development. Through
this process students will learn about Marketing Strategies for
Today's Professional, Interpersonal Skills, HVAC/R
Career Paths, and much more. The following highlights some of
these areas:
Marketing Strategies for Today's Professional
 The person who has access to accurate and up to date information will find the most
opportunities in the Electrical and HVAC/R industries. The Career Development Department is always updating
our services and information to provide entry level as well as
experienced technicians with marketing strategies to enhance their
career choices.
With the technological changes we see today, a successful candidate
entering the career field must change from the viewpoint of selling
one's experience to the viewpoint of developing a personal "Marketing
Strategy". This involves demonstrating to an employer that you
can satisfy the employer's short and long-term needs by virtue of
current skills, abilities, and potential for growth.
We help you do that through self-assessment and
identification of your skills, and then help you present that in a
fashion employers relate to. We will also focus on the type of working
environment you prefer, your core values and other features that make
you unique. We have found that people who find their "perfect career"
in the shortest time frame are those who are able to match their
background and personal traits to those of an employer.
Interpersonal Skills
Another focus of the Career Development process is to
identify and enhance appropriate interpersonal skills. Technical
skills and training are an important requirement to land a job in the
industry however, they must be balanced with appropriate
interpersonal skills. Technicians with solid basic skills and positive
attitudes are more likely to find and keep jobs than someone with
vocational skills alone.
Oftentimes success will depend on the right combination of technical
and people skills. Through our close relationship with industry, we
can provide you with an insight into what employers need. We can also
help you assess your strengths and weaknesses in this area as you
prepare to present yourself in a fashion to make the best possible
impression.
