Candidates Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I get an application?

Your first step is to fill out our Contact Form. We will then contact you with next steps; which may include an application, an interview and information and dates for upcoming open-houses.

How much does it cost to join OPA RASA?

The OPA RASA program is free. Our prerequisites are that you have a positive and professional attitude, an appetite to learn and come ready to work hard every day.

Do I get paid while I’m at OPA RASA?

OPA RASA recognizes that our participants need to be able to provide for themselves and/or their families. Once you’ve passed Novitiate, you will earn a stipend throughout the program.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, our dress code is business professional: no jeans, t-shirts, sneakers or sweatshirts allowed.

What does OPA RASA expect from me?

OPA RASA believes that all program candidates not only look the part, but live the part. You will come to work dressed for success, ready to work hard, be receptive, be challenged and willing to conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times.

If accepted into the program you will be required to sign an agreement of understanding listing our policies, as well as acceptable behavior. Not abiding by the OPA RASIAN etiquette may be cause for dismissal of the program.

OPA RASA expects a candidate to be professional, treat others with respect and have a strong desire to learn, while having fun doing it! 

Does OPA RASA guarantee that I will get a job?

OPA RASA does not guarantee you will get a job after completing the program. We do have a high rate of success and we expect at least 85% of our graduates to gain employment and/or attend college.

It is our goal that you put the skills you have learned to use, build strong references and gain some professional work experience that will give you the opportunity to prove yourself in your future.

Do I need to know a lot about computers in order to get accepted into the program?

Although OPA RASA will focus heavily on technical skills, you don’t have to have these skills in order to apply. You will be required to have some basic computer skills such as using the keyboard, the mouse, the internet, etc. You may also be required to take a technical and writing evaluation as part of the evaluation process.

Do I need straight A’s or high test scores to get into OPA RASA?

During the evaluation process, your grades are one of many components we will look at. However, focus will not solely be placed on grades and test scores. More important to us, is whether or not you are willing to work hard and put trust in the program that has been successful for many others.

What will I be learning at OPA RASA?  Do I have options of study at OPA RASA?

Every OPA RASA participant is required to go through a core curriculum. This will allow you to make a more informed decision about your area of study. You will then pursue one of several paths based on your demonstrated skills, interests and current  needs.

Do I have to have a computer at home?

No, although it is not necessary to have a computer to be accepted into the program, you may find it beneficial to have one.

Where will the internships be? Do I get to decide where I will do my internship?

When the time is right, you will be placed in an internship within a company. Although you won’t get to choose the company, our staff ensures that your placement meets the needs and skills required by the organization. During the placement process, many factors are taken into consideration to provide proper placement for everyone involved. 

What if OPA RASA is not in my area? Can I still apply?

Not at this time. Unfortunately, you must live near an OPA RASA site to attend the program..

I don’t consider myself a “Young Adult”. Can I still apply to OPA RASA?

OPA RASA primarily serves young adults who are between 18 and 30 years old, where a successful transition from school to the economic mainstream is critical but where few alternatives to the “traditional” college-to-career pathway exist. OPA RASA makes every effort to refer those who may not qualify to other organizations and resources
