Amplifying Hispanic Perspectives in Technology Through Strategic Partnerships

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month annually from September 15 - October 15, but diversifying the tech landscape to include more Hispanic and Latinx perspectives and presence is something Per Scholas keeps in mind throughout the year. With partners, including TEKsystems, we have connected nearly 1,500 Hispanic learners with technology careers in a field in which they are typically not represented.

Per Scholas Cyber Apprenticeships: Nationally Needed, Locally Ready to Close Talent Gaps

On the last day of July, the White House and the Office of the National Cyber Director announced a National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy (NCWES) unique in vision and approach at a time where there are over 755,000 Cybersecurity jobs open in the United States. At Per Scholas, we applaud the administration in accelerating its focus on the cyber workforce across sectors, along with the organizations who have made commitments to support this effort - ranging from the National Security Agency (NSA) to Microsoft to MassBay Community College.
