Client Spotlight – SnapIT Solutions
SnapIT Develops the Tech Workforce of the Future—With Capital from Country Club Bank
When CEO Neelima Parasker founded SnapIT, she brought over 15 years of global leadership experience in enterprise technology. But what ultimately inspired her wasn’t corporate strategy but community impact.
“I started volunteering in underserved communities around Kansas City,” said Parasker. “And I was shocked. In our city, many inner city kids and young adults couldn’t access the tech education and resources I had assumed were universal. That changed everything.”
Today, SnapIT is not only delivering enterprise technology services and staffing solutions to major clients, including Evergy, Federal Reserve Bank, and various federal agencies, but it’s also training and placing hundreds of aspiring technologists through its flagship SPRNT® Lab program. And thanks to a trusted banking relationship with Country Club Bank, SnapIT is scaling this impact across 10 states and counting.
A Workforce Model Built for Fairness and Scale
SnapIT’s SPRNT Lab is more than a training curriculum. It’s a whole career development pipeline designed to help individuals of all ages, from recent high school grads to career-switchers in their 40s and 50s, confidently enter the tech workforce.
The model is structured in four steps:
1. Tech Assessment: A 30-minute digital quiz identifying students' aptitude and alignment for tech careers.
2. Core Tech Training: Nine weeks of live, instructor-led coursework in disciplines like Java, Python, cloud engineering, cybersecurity, and more.
3. Professional Skills + Agile Certification: Real-world preparation with mentoring and credentialing.
4. On-the-Job Experience: Twelve weeks of hands-on project work to build a strong portfolio and transition into employment via Registered Apprenticeships.
Programs are no-cost to most students through workforce agency partnerships, and SnapIT has trained over 2,000 individuals to date. With a graduation rate of 93% and nearly 98% credential-eligible, the outcomes are among the strongest in the industry. Students are also supported with laptops, exam vouchers, and access to career mentors.
“Our goal is to lower the barrier of entry to high-quality tech jobs so employers get more potential talent to hire, and individuals have the chance to grow themselves and their opportunities to enter the tech industry,” said Parasker. “This is not just about training, it’s about transforming a jobs marketplace, and ultimately, an entire industry.”
From Classroom to Contract
SnapIT’s mission goes beyond its own hiring needs. The company now serves as a talent pipeline for other employers, with flexible options for direct hiring or placement through SnapIT’s recruiting arm. In fact, employers can often qualify for grants or incentives when hiring registered apprentices trained through the company’s Department of Labor–recognized program.
“We want to help companies solve real tech challenges by unlocking talent that’s often overlooked,” Parasker said. “Whether placing five developers on a federal contract or helping a local business upskill its team, we’re meeting the market needs where they are.”
This flexibility has earned SnapIT trusted client relationships across government, healthcare, and enterprise sectors. It also enabled them to retain high-profile partnerships even as major clients like Cerner have evolved through mergers and acquisitions.
Banking on Trust and Tailored Support
As SnapIT’s reach has expanded, so has the need for a banking partner that understands the pace and complexity of a fast-growing tech company. In 2023, Parasker transitioned her business to Country Club Bank, giving her peace of mind and a solid banking partner for future growth.
“I wasn’t even looking to change banks, but I needed a partner who could see the full picture and the future,” Parasker said. “Country Club Bank stepped in when it mattered most. They believed in me, our business model, and the communities we serve.”
SnapIT now relies on Country Club Bank for its line of credit, deposit accounts, and day-to-day treasury support. And with the recent announcement of Country Club Bank’s pending merger with FNBO, SnapIT will have access to an even greater selection of products, services, technologies, and capital. As SnapIT continues to grow, the combined infrastructure, support, and lending power of Country Club Bank and FNBO will be more than enough to sustain SnapIT’s future capital needs.
Parasker credits Mary O'Connor, EVP, Creative & Brand Management, and Janelle Aubrecht, VP of Commercial Lending at Country Club Bank, and their team for being accessible, transparent, and relationship-driven, qualities that mirror Parasker’s approach to leadership.
“It’s not about transactions, it’s about trust,” Parasker said. “And that’s exactly what we’ve gained with Country Club Bank.”
