What is BoBCAT?
Introducing BoBCAT President Aaron Dean. BoBCAT is more than a program to help individuals find a job in the Brooklyn borough.
Here at BoBCAT we are working collectively to change the community of Brooklyn through addressing the work force environment.
BoBCAT BACKGROUND
A group of concerned professionals created BoBCAT (Borough of Brooklyn Center for Arts & Technology) to address the problem of chronically high unemployment among underrepresented and underserved communities in Brooklyn, NY.
To address this challenge, we established a training program with educational pathways to prepare our candidates for fields in which they can pursue living wage careers without needing a college degree.
We source our candidates through public schools, local universities, and community organizations.
Our Mission
BoBCAT's mission is to educate, nurture, and sustain a well-prepared, world-class workforce in Brooklyn, New York, for the balance of the 21st Century, with the goal of eradicating chronic unemployment and underemployment within the Borough.
Our Vision
To provide Brooklyn-based, under-served individuals aged 19 and above - including unemployed youth and people who attended but did not graduate from selected local universities - with educational training (including visual arts) as well as career training which will enable them to effectively compete for high-growth jobs in high-wage sectors of a global society.

Based on research showing unemployment levels among our target populations are substantially higher than the national, state, or city averages in the neighborhoods of East New York, Brownsville, Bedford Stuyvesant, Flatbush and East Flatbush. BoBCAT will target central Brooklyn for our inaugural efforts, depending upon space and land availability.
