InspiriTec’s mission is to be “An inspired social entrepreneurship which adds value to the lives of disabled persons, the destinies of our corporate partners, and the careers of our employees. In achieving this mission we integrate compassionate empowering human services with world class, attentive, information services. What we do and how we do it will become a model for businesses and human service organizations alike.”
The organization exists to enable people with disabilities and other disadvantages to gain skills and a job in Information Technology (IT) professions. To meet this goal, InspiriTec offers vocational training programs in such topics as computer assembly and repair/networking, applications development and programming (using Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET technologies), and Web Design and Development (FrontPage, Perl, HTML, ASP).
InspiriTec provides complete “wrap around” supportive services, which identify and overcome barriers, which might inhibit a client’s ability to successfully complete training and secure a job. Services include case management, counseling, transportation assistance, assistive technology, and job readiness training.
In support of the mission, InspiriTec operates its own commercial IT firm which provides core technology and resources back into training programs, and which often serves as a competitive and supportive work environment for graduates. This entrepreneurial approach to operating a charitable organization ensures that InspiriTec “practices what it teaches.” In employing people with disabilities as programmers, network engineers, customer service representatives, and project managers, InspiriTec provides Call Center Services, software development, web page design and development, and network integration services.
