Per Scholas

Per Scholas was founded more than 20 years ago with a mission to open doors to transformative technology careers for individuals from often overlooked communities.

We accomplish this mission today by:

• CREATING OPPORTUNITY For people who work hard, we create real opportunities to build better lives for themselves and their families.
• CLOSING THE SKILLS DIVIDE We prepare smart, dedicated people to work in key technical roles, always designing our courses in response to what employers tell us they need.
• ACHIEVING DIVERSITY We are building a more diverse technical workforce by creating on-ramps for women and people of color, groups staggeringly underrepresented in IT employment today. 90% of our students are people of color, a third are women and a third are disconnected young adults.
