The BDPA Corporate Sponsorship Program presents corporations and government agencies with opportunities to establish formal partnerships with BDPA and local BDPA Chapters. Engagements are designed to support corporate goals and objectives in talent acquisition, research and development (R&D), and digital workforce transformation initiatives.
Through this program, corporate sponsors not only provide investments but also take part in initiatives aimed at enhancing technical and professional capabilities of non-traditional suppliers and communities.
