We prepare individuals traditionally underrepresented in technology-women, people of color, and those with at most a high school diploma-for high-growth tech careers, partnering with dynamic employer partners, from Fortune 500 companies to innovative startups, to build sustainable and diverse talent pipelines. We connect graduates to careers with personal meaning, opportunities for advancement, and the wages needed to invest in their futures and that of their families. To date, more than 25,000 individuals have gained the skills to launch high-growth tech careers. Both remotely and at campuses in more than 20 cities, Per Scholas offers tuition-free, immersive training in the most in-demand tech skills, including Cloud, Cybersecurity, Data Engineering, IT Support, Software Engineering, and more. Holistic support ensures that 85% of learners graduate, and robust job attainment assistance means 80% of Per Scholas graduates launch their careers within one year of completing a 3-4 month full-time training course, earning 3x the wages they earned pre-training. After graduation, Per Scholas alumni have access to additional technical upskilling, coaching, and other career development resources through our Career Accelerator initiative, specifically designed to help alumni advance further and more quickly in their careers. The efficacy of our model has been proven in two randomized controlled trial studies-the gold standard of evaluations. The most recent MDRC Work Advance study concluded that for every $1 spent on Per Scholas training, $8 is returned to the local economy through reduction of public benefits, increased taxes, and increased spending. According to the study, Per Scholas enrollees are 50% less likely than their peers to receive unemployment insurance, nutritional, and income support in the two years following Per Scholas. 845835 9991938 SOCIAL VENTURES - Per Scholas' asset recovery operations, acts as a recycling business, offering a complete IT asset disposition solution.
