Looking for Volunteer Instructors

CIT Training always works to stay on top of innovations and the latest technology. Our goal is to keep the NIH community in step with the changing IT environment. Are you involved with a technology, topic or project that can deliver value to the NIH community? If so we need you! The strength of our award winning program has always been our outstanding volunteer instructors. If you have limited classroom experience, CIT Training staff will work with you. Contact us if you are a project lead and you are rolling out a new or updated program - we may be able to assist you with your training needs.

Let us take this opportunity to thank all of our volunteers who help make our program possible. We would not be able to offer such a variety of classes and seminars free of charge without you. Thank you.
