RTI Career Stories
“As a United States Marine Corps veteran, I have embraced the foundational values of “serve and protect” and excellence that have left an indelible mark on the world for generations. RTI’s mission reflects these values brilliantly, and I am honored to align myself with an organization that strives to exact positive change in a way that improves the human condition. Everyone is so dedicated to performing their best not just because they believe in the mission of RTI, but because we work in an environment that cares about fostering meaningful relationships and recognizing the value of team members. I also can’t get enough of the RTP Main Campus; it is such a beautiful space to walk through on a break and energizing to work in!”
Deishali Dewitt
Project Administrative Specialist
“RTI is an institution/ business that is committed to positively impacting people across the globe. A lot of organizations work in some the same spaces as RTI and impact some of the same people, but very few have the model and intent to impact the number of people in ways RTI does across the US and abroad. The people, definitely the people. RTI is committed to having a diverse workforce and it’s more than just checking a box. I have friends/colleagues based across multiple continents and it’s always great to connect on work related issues, as well as non-work related topics. The people at RTI makes RTI different and makes coming to work a valued experience that continues to grow.“
Corey Hatchell
Senior Director, Global HR Operations, Compliance, and Employee Services
"I wanted to work for an institution where women feel appreciated, supported, and empowered. After being a working professional for over 15 years, I desired a career in which the issues and challenges of the world are actively addressed. My passion for childhood education, serving the community and those in underprivileged populations aligns with my position at RTI. I couldn’t be happier! I work with a team that is kind, positive, and brilliant. Not only do I learn something new just about every day, but I’m also able to apply my existing talents while professionally developing new skills. Also, the work that I do is exceptionally fulfilling and continuously makes life-long, valuable impacts in the lives of children!"
Christa Bethelmy
Project Management Specialist
“I had always had RTI on my radar given their stellar reputation in the public health field and overlap with the work I was doing in state government. When looking for a new career path, I turned to RTI given what I had heard about staff work/life balance coupled with the feeling that what I was going to be doing was going to help affect peoples’ lives in a positive and broad manner. It’s the type of position I was looking for and have been thoroughly pleased with my career move ever since! I thoroughly enjoy the people I work with and look forward to engaging with them on projects. I also enjoy the different types of projects I am a part of and how it impacts public health from many different angles!”
