BDPA Cincinnati originated 25 years ago out of concerns that minorities were not adequately represented in the information technology industry. BDPA provides education and from the classroom to the boardroom” for students, professionals, entrepreneurs and our community. BDPA has a strong relationship with the Cincinnati Public Schools to entice high school students to participate in our Student In

formation Technology Education & Scholarship (SITES) program. BDPA has decades of experience in training tomorrow's workforce to compete more effectively in the global marketplace by training them to use technology as a tool. The SITES program is an intellectually challenging program that builds self-esteem through the mastery of applied computer science. We create a foundation for academic and career success. SITES trains our youth to use technology as a vehicle to learn skills and concepts beyond the technology itself. In essence, it bridges the gap between long-term educational approach of the classroom and short-term skills experience of the workplace. BDPA Cincinnati chapter conducts this youth education training over a nine-month period that concludes with the top five students competing in the National BDPA High School Computer Competition for college scholarships and prizes. The program is open to 8th-12th grade students from the greater Cincinnati area. The students are not required to have prior computer training. Another component of our SITES program is our Computer Camp (www.bdpa-camp.org). BDPA Cincinnati trained hundreds of students since the programs’ inception. Following successful completion of the program, SITES scholars continue to hone their science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills in college and in the workplace.
