Vocational Education

Education   ---   Employment   ---   Life Long Learning

Vocational Education at BITS ETC benefits clients from the age of 14 and up from area agencies, doctor's referrals, schools, and with peer supports. Some come with coded disabilities and some without; they stay because our horses need THEIR help.  Horses foster a great work ethic!

Clients learn independence as skills improve, and increased self-confidence opens doors to other activities.  The development of solid work habits may lead to suitable employment. Clients build on BITS' success to achieve individual employment goals. This program empowers clients to seek the next level of engagement. Some may explore the world of viable careers in the equine sector.
