About

Founded in 2022 by the Rahman Family, the BeTech Foundation is dedicated to revolutionizing access to education and career development for marginalized and disadvantaged communities. Yasifur “Yas” Rahman, a successful business leader who moved to New York City from Bangladesh in 1996, established BeTech with his wife, Tabassum, and two close friends Shakh and Arif. Together, they created a nonprofit to break down barriers and provide a clear path to upward mobility for those facing significant challenges.

What sets BeTech apart is its focus on vocational training and career guidance in high-demand fields like healthcare and engineering. Through need-based financial support and personalized mentorship, we help individuals move beyond industries like food service, delivery, and construction—sectors often associated with first-generation and economically disadvantaged workers. Our approach equips individuals with the skills and support needed to transition smoothly into meaningful careers, fostering financial independence and leadership within their communities, while creating lasting, positive change.
