The Cooper Union’s Retraining Program for Immigrant Engineers (RPIE) is a free professional development opportunity that supports immigrant, refugee, and asylee engineers, technologists, or those in related fields as they build a competitive portfolio to equip them for the professional workforce and the career they want. Eligible participants are those who find themselves currently unemployed or in positions unrelated to their degrees or training.

RPIE offers engineers the opportunity to increase their technical knowledge to keep up with the latest engineering trends and build competitive portfolios that will help them gain access to higher-paying jobs in their career fields.

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will be notified of their application status within seven days of submission. Classes and their dates/times are subject to change.
