Blind Institute of Technology's National Registered Apprenticeship Program

The Blind Institute of Technology is thrilled to invite, involve and inspire workforce development professionals attending the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP) conference to explore how individuals with disabilities can meaningfully contribute to today’s workforce, with technology as “the great equalizer.” In this session, attendees will be given a comprehensive overview of BIT’s national Registered Apprenticeship program designed specifically for the disability community. As the only Salesforce-approved training provider for professionals with disabilities, BIT has built a scalable and innovative workforce development model that moves individuals from training to certification to our Registered Apprenticeship program and competitive integrated employment. Hear from BIT leadership, past and current apprentices, and from Safal Partners how BIT graduates are entering high-growth roles such as Salesforce Administrator and Digital Accessibility Analyst (CPACC).
