Per Scholas was founded more than 20 years ago to break the cycle of poverty by providing technology access and education in underserved communities. CREATING OPPORTUNITY For people who work hard, they create real opportunities to build better lives for themselves and their families. CLOSING THE SKILLS DIVIDE They prepare smart, dedicated people to work in key technical roles, always designing their courses in response to what employers tell us they need. ACHIEVING DIVERSITY They 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 their students are people of color, a third are women and a third are disconnected young adults.
