level up your skills with the Professional development Fund
Even after you finish one of our programs, we know there’s always more to learn.
Which is why YCEO or Boot Camp graduates can apply for The Professional Development Fund to help cover the cost of technical skills training.
This fund is here to help our alumni open the door to training, courses and programs that will help them operate their business at the highest level.
Available to BITS alumni.

What is the professional development fund?
The Professional Development Fund is a grant up to $1,000 that helps BITS alumni to gain technical skills training to solve business challenges through courses or training outside of BITS. If you’re ready to learn and grow your skillset, this funding gives you the opportunity to do that.
Applications* are based on:
The course’s relevance to helping the entrepreneur’s business overcome key barriers to growth
→
How much effort the applicant has put into solving the key challenge prior to requesting funding
→
Applicant’s ability to cover course costs if the amount needed is more than the fund supports
→
*The fund does NOT cover the cost of Post-Secondary (College or University) courses.
