About the partnership

The Allstate Foundation is committed to advancing racial equity to enrich lives. Their partnership helps to close the racial opportunity gap by creating pathways to thriving wage careers for all by providing rigorous, tuition-free IT job training and connections to employment opportunities for diverse adult learners from low-to-moderate-income households across our training campuses. Allstate’s support also enables Per Scholas to coach learners on business professional skill development, including communication, collaboration, presentation, and problem-solving skills; provide holistic support services to all learners to identify and mitigate barriers that might impact learner success in training and employment, including financial capabilities and navigator/support services; and upon graduation, connect learners to leading employers for career opportunities through our local business solutions teams.

Allstate’s partnership includes pro bono engagements to support national marketing, communications, and governance initiatives, as well as local-level volunteerism and financial support, and inclusion in The Allstate Foundation Nonprofit Leadership Center.
