About the partnership

AT&T invests in Per Scholas to help people build the skills they need for successful careers in technology. Since 2012, AT&T’s catalytic investments have enabled Per Scholas to:

Create career pathways for hundreds of young adults across the country
Expand our software engineering training track across six cities (Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Newark and New York City) and scale Cybersecurity training to our Dallas, National Capital Region, Newark, and New York City campuses
Foster a national dialogue about equity and inclusion through the support of our Diverse by Design conversation series
Feature Per Scholas’s impact in documentaries such as “The Future of Work” and “To Be Determined”

Graduates working at AT&T

Instead of being afraid of the tech world...there's a lot to learn, but I think there's a community of students, professors, and administration. And we all know why we are there.
