About the partnership
Per Scholas and JPMorgan Chase have partnered for more than 20 years to drive positive social change on a national scale. JPMorgan Chase’s investments have enabled Per Scholas to:
- Build our original Bronx IT training program into a sector-leading technology workforce development model. JPMorgan Chase volunteers even helped Per Scholas build our first modern website
- Expand our national footprint to launch our first campuses beyond New York in Cincinnati and Columbus, providing the basis for scaling our training to the more than 22 markets across the country where Per Scholas courses are offered today
- Develop an entirely new, full-time immersive learning model in 2020 that allowed us to train 3,500 remote learners over a 2-year period and publish Clear Connections: Lessons Learned from a Formative Evaluation of Remote Learning at Per Scholas to share critical findings with the broader workforce field
- Launch our Dallas campus in 2015, where we have since trained nearly 1,800 learners
- Expand our earned revenue model for customized training from a single employer in New York to Dallas, Greater Boston, Baltimore, and Detroit, which have trained nearly 3,000 individuals to date
- Foster a national dialogue about equity and inclusion through the support of our Diverse by Design conversation series
- Create a national strategy focusing on IT career pathways for young adults through the New Skills For Youth initiative, whose success has led these efforts to be launched as a separate venture
- Launch our Women in Tech and Network Engineer courses
- Provide in-house financial services to all learners at our New York campuses, and partner with organizations such as Manhattan Community College, Urban Development Center, and Upperline Code to provide training to more individuals across all five boroughs
- Create a powerful in-house alumni network thanks to hiring 42 Per Scholas graduates in Columbus, Dallas, Philadelphia, and New York, including 19 graduates in the last two years
