Business Access is a woman-owned tech company. Since 1999, we've helped thousands of disadvantaged people cross the digital divide and improve their economic futures through our patented In-Home Learning System.
Closing the digital divide is much more complex than simply providing access to computers and the internet. The In-Home Learning System includes:
| In-home computers and filtered internet service
| Online learning with customized curriculums
| Mentoring and Tech Support
| Computer ownership upon graduation
| Automated workflow, data collection, and reporting
Business Access has implemented 230+ digital divide programs with 93 community partners in 18 states including:
| Job retention for people transitioning from welfare to work
| Career pathways for at-risk youth aging out of foster care
| Earn-while-you-learn programs for people with disabilities
| Intensive case management for formerly incarcerated women
| Programs for people living in unincorporated areas along the US border ("colonias")
Our programs have been studied by universities, foundations, and government agencies. Evidence-based results include:
| 84% off TANF (aka "welfare") and working, up to seven years after program exit
| 89% employed one year after program exit
| 94% job retention one year after program exit
| 78% reduction in recidivism
| 84% of long-term unemployed obtained employment
