Everyone Wins as Toss for Techs Expands Across Ohio

Share

This September Per Scholas had the pleasure of expanding our yearly Toss for Techs event across Ohio. This was the 3rd year that our Cincinnati site hosted the event and the inaugural year for Columbus.

Toss for Techs is a friend-raiser and a fundraiser. Representatives from local organizations get a chance to meet each other in an informal setting and have the opportunity to discuss what is happening within their community while hearing from Per Scholas students and interacting with Per Scholas staff.

Hiring and retaining reliable talent is a key component to workforce development, and the support that Per Scholas gains from sponsors and individual donors at events like Toss for Techs goes directly to fueling the future tech workforce of their respective cities.

Congratulations to both of our winning teams! In Columbus, the team from TEKsystems won the inaugural event.

In Cincinnati, the team from Scripps continued their winning run of the last few years, and pulled off a three-peat!

Special thanks to all the sponsors of both events, these events wouldn’t be possible without your support and we hope to see you again next year
