What We Do & Why

The facts speak for themselves, and this is why we do what we do every day. Our team recruits candidates with disabilities from universities, vocational rehabilitation centers, disability focused forums and events, and social media. Our career development services include interactive workshops, resume writing, interview training and specific skill training. Our BIT Academy® focuses on official certifications for careers at companies such as Salesforce, CVS, JP Morgan Chase, and companies within their ecosystems. Candidates we place earn a median salary of $60,000 per year which is higher than the U.S. average household income of per year. At the same time, we work closely with our corporate partners to increase awareness and education on the value of hiring individuals with disabilities.

How You Can Help

BIT’s services are 100% complimentary to all of our candidates. Even after we place our candidates in meaningful careers we continue to mentor and provide career guidance to them. Upon successful completion of the BIT Academy courses we work closely with the candidate and our corporate partners to identify the perfect fit for mutual success on both the candidate and corporate sides. On average we invest about $6,500 in each candidate that completes our BIT Academy courses.

All the money raised at our gala will go directly to maximizing the number of candidates that participate in the BIT Academy. Please help us achieve our goal by joining us at our gala for a seated dinner, live auction, and fun entertainment.

Pack your passport and your dancing shoes — our international gala is ready to whisk you around the world in one unforgettable night, so come join the fun and celebration!
