CIT invites you and your child to join the Career Institute of Technology for its annual Open House on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, from 5:30–8:00 PM.

Open House is a great opportunity to explore CIT and learn more about the exciting career and technical education opportunities available to students. Prospective students and families can tour hands-on labs, meet instructors, see industry-standard equipment in action and discover how CIT prepares students for successful career, college and workforce opportunities.

Planning to apply to CIT for the 2027–2028 school year?

CIT’s 2027–2028 enrollment application will be released the evening of Thursday, November 19, 2026, the day after Open House. Programs are available to students who will be entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade during the 2027–2028 school year.

We encourage interested families to attend CIT's Open House and explore programs before applications open. Many CIT programs fill quickly and applications are date and time stamped upon submission. Submitting an application early is strongly encouraged for students interested in high-demand programs.

Come see what CIT has to offer, explore your options, ask questions and find the program that could help shape your future. CIT looks forward to welcoming you and showing you how you can Build Your Future!
