Bobby Dodd Institute

People with disabilities have consistently faced an approximately 65% rate of unemployment despite the ability and willingness to work. Bobby Dodd Institute (BDI) is committed to reducing that unemployment rate by helping people with disabilities and disadvantages overcome barriers to work.

We provide a variety of high-quality job training programs at our facility. Our lines of business also allow us to provide meaningful full or part-time employment. As a result of BDI's work over the years, thousands of people with disabilities and disadvantages have transitioned from being a welfare recipient to becoming a proud wage earner.
 
Bobby Dodd Institute originally started in 1960 as a program at the Atlanta Alliance on Developmental Disabilities (AADD), which was then known as Atlanta Retarded Citizens. The purpose of the program was to provide hands-on job training to individuals with disabilities. In 1989, the program spun off from AADD to become the Bobby Dodd Industries. The new organization was named in honor of Coach Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech, a football legend and tireless advocate for people with disabilities. In 2000, Bobby Dodd Industries changed its name to Bobby Dodd Institute to more accurately reflect the learning nature of our program and with the generous support of the philanthropic community.
