BT Foundry is a nonprofit agency in Dallas with opportunity at its core. Our programs provide real-world job training, workforce development, and an employment pathway to talented creatives, opening doors to future careers in advertising and marketing. We are investing in our community’s potential. Through education and on-the-job training, our Apprentices hone their skills with a team that is rooting for their success. We intentionally recruit people of color, women, and
LGBTQ+ folx to our team, and their work consistently proves that equity and quality go hand-in-hand.

 

It's been a long time since our last showcase in 2019. Now, it’s time to introduce our current Apprentices with a full-on celebration! (You know we never miss a chance to host a good party). Come meet our very talented Apprentice cohort:
