Los Angeles, CA — We are proud to announce that Per Scholas has officially been selected for the Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO)’s new High Road Training Partnerships (HRTP) Fund, a grant program that provides over $17 million in funding for innovative, high-quality workforce training models that are delivered through partnerships with worker-centered organizations and employers and that result in greater equity, sustainability, and job quality.

The program addresses the technology sector’s persistent skills gap and prioritizes underrepresented learners, including opportunity youth and individuals historically excluded from high-quality tech training and employment. In partnership with Goodwill of Southern California and the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department, Per Scholas will deliver a comprehensive training program combining technical instruction, soft skills, and hands-on experience to prepare learners for in-demand technology careers.

Program Highlights:

• 300–500 hours of hands-on instruction covering key IT concepts and professional skills.
• Industry-recognized credentials, including CompTIA A+ and Google IT Support certifications.
• Paid, real-world experience as Digital Navigators, providing community members with digital access support while building practical technology skills.

Through this initiative, participants will gain the education, support, and connections needed to secure long-term employment while also advancing systems-level outcomes such as equitable workforce pathways and inclusive hiring practices in the tech industry. Prospective participants can learn more and apply at https://www.perscholas.org/locations/los-angeles.

“At Per Scholas, we believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. Through the High Road Digital Pathways partnership, we’re changing that—connecting Angelenos from underrepresented communities to the education, tools, and experiences they need to thrive in the technology sector. This initiative isn’t just about training people for jobs; it’s about building a future where digital equity, economic mobility, and human potential move forward together.”
— Patrice Madu, Per Scholas Los Angeles Managing Director

“In 2025, searching for a job, visiting a doctor, or signing up for a bank account all require digital access and know-how. This $1 million investment is catalyzing a workforce of Digital Navigators that will support community members in overcoming the very real digital divide, which we know disproportionately impacts Black, Latino, Indigenous, and other historically disinvested households, while also advancing the Navigators’ skills and experiences for dynamic, cross-sector tech careers here in Los Angeles County. We are so excited to build on our digital equity investments at DEO and across the County through this new program and partnership.” — Kelly LoBianco, Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity

Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Care First Community Investment, the twenty grantees selected for the HRTP Fund are each developing or expanding worker- and industry-informed training programs that serve Los Angeles County individuals most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and racial and economic inequities. The sectors, communities, and training models represented through this fund are diverse—ranging from construction, hospitality and tourism, and the creative sector; to communities such as justice-involved individuals and opportunity youth; and models including pre-apprenticeships, apprenticeships, and other high-quality training approaches.

About OIC Philadelphia

Founded in 1964 by Reverend Dr. Leon Sullivan, OIC Philadelphia has stood at the intersection of social justice, workforce development, and economic empowerment. Our mission is to foster connections to family-sustaining jobs with clear career ladder opportunities, enabling economic mobility for underserved Philadelphia residents. Through industry-recognized vocational training, comprehensive support services, and strategic employer partnerships, we create pathways to meaningful employment that transforms not just individual lives, but entire communities.

Located at 1231 N. Broad Street in a 100,000 square foot facility, OIC Philadelphia serves as a beacon of opportunity in North Philadelphia. With over 55,000 alumni since our founding, we have demonstrated unwavering commitment to breaking cycles of poverty and creating sustainable pathways to economic stability. Our organization operates with a deep understanding that workforce development extends beyond skills training to encompass holistic support that addresses the complex barriers facing our participants.

At Per Scholas, we believe talent is everywhere, even if opportunity is not. Our mission is to advance economic equity through rigorous technical training, professional development, and access to high-growth careers. That mission takes bold partners who believe in the transformative power of skills-first training. With that, we are proud to highlight our partnership with Cognizant.

Through a generous investment, Cognizant is directly enabling Per Scholas to scale our reach and impact, aiming to train 8,500 learners across 25 cities between June 2025 and December 2026. This partnership is the kind of strategic investment that amplifies our success model and our belief that the future isn’t waiting, and neither should talent development.

Cognizant’s investment aims to support aspiring technologists from low- to moderate-income households to pursue careers across five critical pathways: Cybersecurity, Data Engineering, IT Support, Infrastructure Technology, and Software Development. Per Scholas’ training combines 80% technical instruction with 20% professional development, all reinforced by wrap-around supports such as financial coaching, one-on-one counseling, and career readiness services. The result? Learners not only gain in-demand skills, but they are holistically prepared to succeed in the workforce and thrive long-term.

This work is especially critical as the U.S. faces a projected shortfall of 10 million unfilled tech jobs by 2030. Together, we are not just removing barriers for individuals hoping to enter thriving careers; we are shaping a more sustainable tech workforce and filling a critical skills gap that could stall economic progress.

As we move forward in this partnership, we are energized by the potential to reimagine workforce development for the AI era. Per Scholas President Caitlyn Brazill shared:

“What excites me most is the opportunity to use AI not just to build better tools, but to build better lives. With Cognizant’s support, we’re ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds can harness transformative technologies and pursue meaningful careers. Together, we are amplifying the skills-first narrative and showing the world that talent truly can come from anywhere.”

This October marks the second anniversary of Cognizant’s Synapse Initiative and we’re proud to celebrate this next chapter together. This partnership exemplifies the power of aligned vision, meaningful investment, and shared purpose.

Per Scholas is proud to once again be selected as a beneficiary of The New York Times Communities Fund holiday giving campaign, marking our third consecutive year participating in this 114-year-old tradition. Since its inception, the Fund has raised more than $354 million to strengthen communities through the generosity of New York Times readers and supporters.

The New York Times’ continued recognition of Per Scholas underscores our impact in advancing economic mobility through technology education. Support from the Fund in 2024-2025 enabled us to provide 2,282 individuals with the resources needed to participate in our no-cost technology and AI training programs, helping them launch life-changing careers in high-growth fields.

All funds raised from this campaign benefit our Career Access Fund, which provides learners with the essential materials, like textbooks, lab supplies, and certification exam fees needed to succeed. 

Thanks to many generous supporters Per Scholas has now empowered more than 30,000 individuals to pursue thriving careers in tech since 1995. This year, donations to the Fund will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $1 million, by an anonymous donor, doubling the impact of every gift.

October 30, 2025 — Per Scholas is proud to share that its Boston campus has been recognized by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) for excellence in non-credit programming. This distinction places Per Scholas among the inaugural cohort of eight organizations acknowledged for meeting the highest standards of educational quality and impact in non-credit learning.

This recognition marks a significant milestone in advancing quality assurance and accountability for non-credit education across the region.

The Commission formally recognized Per Scholas and the other institutions during its September 2025 meeting.

Per Scholas’ recognition underscores the organization’s commitment to ensuring that non-credit programs meet the highest standards of educational excellence. The recognition validates the rigor, quality, and workforce relevance of Per Scholas’ training programs, providing learners and employers alike with a trusted, third-party endorsement of skills and outcomes.

Menlo Park, CA – October 2, 2025 – In an innovative new partnership, Per Scholas has teamed up with JobTrain, a Bay Area-based educational and training institution, to launch its 25th campus in the heart of Silicon Valley. This collaboration aims to address the talent needs of the area’s booming tech industry while creating new pathways to economic mobility for local residents. 

“Establishing Per Scholas’ twenty-fifth campus is a landmark moment, as we bring our tech programs to the pinnacle region of technological innovation,” said Plinio Ayala, CEO at Per Scholas. “A significant training opportunity gap persists in the region.
