Event Description

Join us on Wednesday, November 20, from 9-10AM MT / 11AM-12PM ET for the special webinar, “Unlocking Apprenticeships for All Abilities: Spotlight on BIT,” celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week! We're thrilled to share how BIT is opening doors for professionals with disabilities in tech through our apprenticeship model. Hosted by Safal Partners, the discussion will feature BIT founder Michael Hess, Project Lead Mark Opatow, and two current apprentices who will bring their powerful stories to the table. Moderated by Maria Brady, M.A. from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Apprenticeship, this panel will also highlight how BIT’s recent Department for Education grant is accelerating tech opportunities for all.
