Citizens Institute of Technology (CIT) is committed to resource efficiency and career development support, ensuring that students are well-prepared for both their educational and professional journeys.
Resource Efficiency at CIT
CIT emphasizes the effective use of resources as a key component of our educational philosophy. We integrate sustainable practices into our teaching methods, focusing on the longevity and renewability of resources. By using tools like Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform, we provide students with access to industry-standard technology at no cost. Additionally, students who lack personal computers are equipped with Raspberry Pi kits, ensuring equal access to necessary technology.
Microsoft Teams plays a crucial role in our approach, fostering a collaborative learning environment where students can engage in real-time brainstorming, project management, and business simulations. This practical, hands-on experience prepares students for the demands of the modern workplace while promoting a culture of responsible stewardship and innovation.
