Salesforce Golden Hoodie Goes to GlobalMindED Inclusive Leader Award Winner 2019 at Dreamforce Conference: Congratulations to Mike Hess!
Founded by Mike Hess, the Blind Institute of Technology's mission is to help professionals with disabilities, and the employers who hire them, find success in the workplace. There is an 80% unemployment and underemployment rate among the blind and visually impaired (BVI) community. BIT is unleashing untapped talent: professionals with disabilities, and bridging the corporate talent gap with unequaled innovative inclusive workforce solutions.
You can also watch this 19-minute documentary, “The Greatest Equalizer,” for a deep dive into the work Salesforce is doing with the Blind Institute of Technology and other partners to bridge the unemployment gap — and empowering people who are blind and low vision to achieve successful careers in tech.
