Thank You to Our 2017 Corporate Volunteers

As the holidays approach, Per Scholas would like to take the opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to all of our amazing volunteer partners for the support they have provided us and our students this past year. In just 12 short months, over 500 volunteers from 105 companies supported our students in practicing their interviewing skills, editing their IT resumes, and expanding their knowledge of the tech sector. Our passionate volunteer partners conducted over 100 unique and invaluable engagements, which included guest speakers, workshops, mock interviews, after class panels, site visits, tours, and so many other amazing opportunities for our students to network and interact with professionals from the industry they are working so diligently to break into. This industry exposure and interview practice will have supported over 800 enrolled students in 2017 so far.

Our sincerest THANK YOU goes out to each and every volunteer partner who supported our students this year, including:

Thank you for believing in Per Scholas’ mission to help individuals from often overlooked communities launch successful careers in technology. We look forward to working with every one of you to create more opportunities for our students in 2018.

Wishing all of our supporters a very happy holiday and new year.

This accelerated approval enables Per Scholas to empower veterans and military spouses through its IT Support training track initially, with plans to extend to other tracks soon.
