Student Testimonials

“IRTS was one of the best career workshops I have ever attended. Nowhere else have I ever received such concise and valuable information about the electronic media business. The speakers were invaluable, and the career fair was extraordinary. The representatives from the companies had nothing but great things to say about IRTS, and in return, about the students it selects for its programs. After attending the Career Workshop, I can see why IRTS has the solid and revered reputation it has.”

– Karina Piedrahita, MCW ’02

“I flew back up to NYC from Nashville, TN, twice after the Workshop to interview with NBC for the Page Program. I just recently found out that I've been accepted, and IRTS made it all possible…Thanks IRTS for giving me a chance!”

– Shannon Johnson, MCW ‘02

"My experience at the IRTS Workshop is one of the reasons I have the job I love today. The opportunity to network with industry professionals helped me gain new contacts which eventually led to job interviews and later my first job! I attended the Workshop only a week before graduation, hoping to obtain a job…and I did! Thank you IRTS for this life-changing opportunity."

– Catarah Hampshire, MCW ‘02
