LaunchIT educates, inspires, and empowers.
A partnership between BAC and Codecraft Works, LaunchIT combines Codecraft Work’s STEM-based, blended learning approach with BAC’s wrap-around services and experience in serving people with unique abilities. LaunchIT allows individuals to explore, educate and launch into the world of IT. For more than 50 years, BAC has taken a mission-centric, community-based approach to providing critical services to people living with disabilities. We customize our services to meet the unique, personal needs of each participant we work with. BAC partners closely with businesses to provide well-matched potential employees to fulfill employers hiring needs. As the workforce needs change, we prepare our participants for careers in Information Technology.
LaunchIT Adult Program
LaunchIT provides solutions to two workplace challenges: filling entry-level Information Technology (IT) positions and increasing employment opportunities for people with disabilities and Veterans.
By completing this comprehensive, six-month live virtual program, people of varying abilities from all over the nation earn internationally recognized certifications with the guidance of specialized mentors. Learning to be experts in their field, LaunchIT graduates enter the workplace with independence and confidence.
This six-month program is designed for veterans or adults with unique abilities over age 18 who have an interest in a career in the IT industry. The program offers two professional certification tracks led by the Codecraft Works team. Participants of both tracks will receive BAC’s intensive, wrap-around support services designed to build the soft skills needed for workforce readiness. When combined, these services will provide participants with the key tools and industry knowledge they need for successful employment.
“The addition of BAC’s services to the Codecraft Works professional tracks will provide the added level of support, customized training and wrap-around services that will be the key difference for our participants with disabilities to thrive. Our ultimate goal is to provide a pipeline of highly qualified entry-level employees who are ready and willing to fill IT support roles, with both the professional and soft skills employers tell us they are looking for in team members with or without disabilities.”
