Per Scholas Featured in Forbes Councils for Insights on Scaling Tech Teams Through Skills-Based Hiring and Upskilling

NEW YORK, NY — February 2026 — Per Scholas was recently featured in Forbes Councils for its thought leadership on scaling technology teams in today’s AI-driven labor market. The article, written by Brittany Murrey, Executive Vice President of Talent Solutions, highlights how organizations can address tech talent challenges by hiring for potential and investing in internal upskilling programs.

“Tech leaders do not have a talent shortage problem. They have a talent strategy problem,” Murrey writes in Forbes Councils. “Organizations that prioritize skills-based hiring and internal development will be best positioned for long-term growth in an evolving market.”

The feature reinforces Per Scholas’ commitment to advancing workforce development and economic mobility by connecting skilled technologists to high-demand careers. By combining rigorous technical training, professional skills development, and employer-aligned pathways, Per Scholas helps organizations build resilient, future-ready teams while providing learners with opportunities to thrive in the tech economy.

With more than 30,000 alumni trained across 20+ campuses and remote programs nationwide, Per Scholas continues to demonstrate how workforce development strategies that focus on potential and upskilling can scale impact and transform lives.
