During the last 30 years, we’ve seen technology develop into an unstoppable force that influences how we live, work, and communicate.

In 1995, dial-up internet and floppy disks were gaining popularity, while mobile phones were in their infancy. Fast forward to today, and we manage nearly every aspect of our lives on mobile devices, while cloud computing and AI have become ubiquitous.

Per Scholas has also experienced a remarkable journey in the last three decades, evolving alongside the technology it champions to create a more inclusive and representative industry.

Here are some of the events and people that have shaped the history of technology from 1995 to 2025.

1. 2000 – Dot-Com Bubble Bursts, But Tech Doesn’t Die

In 1995, just 0.7% of the global population used the internet. In 2025, that number stands at 68%. However, that journey hasn’t always been smooth, with the dot-com boom and subsequent bust being a prime example.

In the late 1990s, investment in internet startups created a frenzy on the stock markets, but this was short-lived, with billions of dollars in market value wiped out in the year 2000.

The dot-com crash exposed inequalities in who exactly benefited in the technology economy, with entrepreneurs and investors walking away with vast fortunes at the expense of those with little market knowledge. However, the event also opened the door for people to rethink how technology is built and by whom.

Recognizing skills gaps in technology, Per Scholas doubled down on workforce training in 2020, providing skills and knowledge that help learners thrive in the modern world.

2. 2011 – Kimberly Bryant Founds Black Girls CODE

While Black people make up 13% of the U.S. population, they represent just 7% of the computing workforce.

After her daughter expressed an interest in computer programming, Kimberly Bryant started Black Girls Code in 2011, a nonprofit that empowers girls of color through coding education and technological engagement.

Per Scholas also creates access for those traditionally left out of tech. We offer no-cost training, certifications, and job attainment assistance, empowering individuals from all backgrounds to pursue their dreams.  

3. 2018 – Timnit Gebru Co-Authors Groundbreaking Work on AI Bias

In 2018, Timnit Gebru, a leader in AI ethics research, co-authored a paper that showed facial recognition is less reliable when identifying some individuals, which could lead to discrimination.

Also around this time, Per Scholas led efforts to prepare learners for AI and its potential downsides. We started training AI learners to lead, not just follow — a philosophy that also extends into other technologies, such as the cloud and cybersecurity.

4. 2020 – The Pandemic Forces the World Online

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a digital divide between those with reliable internet access and technology skills and those without became remarkably apparent.

Shortly after the start of the pandemic, Per Scholas pivoted to remote training, ensuring continuity for our learners during one of the most significant events in modern history. Former alum Kevin Rappe, now Systems Engineer at Cetrom Information Technology, Inc., says:

“[Per Scholas helped us get] as hands-on as possible over remote learning. They did a really impressive job, and it worked very well.”

5. 2025 – Per Scholas Hits 30 Years, with More Than 30K Trained and Counting

Per Scholas is proud to celebrate 30 years, and we honored this historic milestone by ringing the Nasdaq Closing Bell back in February.

Since 1995, we’ve made a massive effort to diversify tech for everyone, which continues to be our driving force. Former alum Jadah Stone, now an IT Support Specialist at Casper, says:

“Per Scholas provided really amazing resources for people that might not have otherwise been able to have an opportunity like this.”

The Per Scholas Journey: 1995-2025

Here’s a timeline of some of our most important milestones:

In our recent, inspiring Q&A Spotlight, we shine a light on Akintunde Akinwande, a Per Scholas graduate and Data Center Valedictorian, whose journey from the music industry to the tech world is a powerful story of reinvention, resilience, and forward-looking ambition.

Once a Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter with Billboard-charting records, Akintunde made a bold and thoughtful transition into technology. He traded studio sessions for server racks in pursuit of stability and growth. 

Today, he’s working with TEKsystems, building real-world experience in network infrastructure and cloud systems as he charts a course toward a future in cloud engineering.

A CAREER REINVENTED 

Before discovering Per Scholas, Akintunde was immersed in the music industry, contributing to major projects that reached audiences around the globe. But amid his success, he began questioning the long-term sustainability of his career.

“I sought a path that offered stability, continuous learning, and future relevance,” he comments. “Technology consistently emerged as the foundation of modern innovation, and I recognized an opportunity to take greater control of my time and professional development.”

That realization set him on a path toward tech — and ultimately to Per Scholas.

Overcoming Barriers with Structure & Support

Breaking into tech without a traditional background wasn’t easy. Akintunde describes it as “standing at the base of a mountain without a map.” But Per Scholas provided direction.

“Per Scholas gave me the roadmap: structure, accountability, hands-on training, and most importantly, belief in my potential,” he reflects. “The environment they create is one where you feel seen, supported, and capable.”

That support extended beyond technical learning. Through coaching, mentorship, and community, Akintunde gained the confidence to not only enter the tech field but to thrive. Per Scholas’s immersive curriculum helped Akintunde build both skill and self-assurance.

“We weren’t just learning theory. We were troubleshooting live environments, configuring networks, racking and stacking servers — real tasks that mirror what happens in the field,” he shares.

A New Chapter at TEKsystems

Now at TEKsystems, Akintunde is leveraging his training in a professional setting, working on network hardware, server maintenance, and data center logistics.

“This role has laid the groundwork for my long-term goal: becoming a cloud engineer. Being part of the systems that power the internet has been fascinating and affirming.”

He’s also building his credentials, actively pursuing certifications to stay on top of this ever-evolving industry.

Future Thinking 

Since completing the program, Akintunde’s understanding of the tech industry has broadened significantly. His family, the Per Scholas community, and mentors at TEKsystems have been constant sources of encouragement and support.

For others considering a similar leap into tech, Akintunde has this to say: “Stay adaptable. Stay curious. The tech landscape is always changing, and that’s a good thing. Embrace the learning process, and don’t be afraid to start from scratch.”

Per Scholas Future of Tech Survey Reveals Top Tech Industry Concerns 

New research uncovers key insights from tech executives and workers amid evolving workforce innovations and challenges

BRONX, NY – June 24, 2025 – Nearly two-thirds (64%) of C-Suite technology executives rank cybersecurity threats as the top challenge U.S. businesses will face over the next decade, according to new research from Per Scholas, a national tech training nonprofit. The research reveals that this concern is amplified by the critical need for robust data center infrastructure to handle burgeoning sensitive data.

Conducted by Talker Research among 1,000 cybersecurity and data center executives, the survey found an actively threatened cyber environment as 56% of companies reported defending against hacking attempts, 43% experienced data breaches, and 14% suffering from successful hacks.

“Heightened cyber risks directly translate to significant talent demands, especially given the nearly 500,000 open cybersecurity roles nationwide,” said Brittany Murrey, Executive Vice President, Talent Solutions at Per Scholas. “Our data revealed that cybersecurity (53%), adaptability and problem-solving (52%), AI proficiency (42%), and digital/technical skills (38%) are the most in-demand for future hiring, highlighting a critical need for accessible training in these areas.”       

With nearly half (43%) of executives saying that they regularly hire entry-level talent, skills training continues to be an effective solution to quickly meet the rising demand for talent. Per Scholas programs, which are provided at no cost to learners, offer industry-recognized Cybersecurity, Cloud, and Data Engineering training, equipping learners with job-ready technical and professional skills. 

A companion survey of 1,000 U.S. tech employees encouragingly revealed that nearly 9 in 10 (88%) expressed willingness to undergo additional cybersecurity training, averaging 7.1 hours per month, as they also feel a preparedness gap: less than half (48%) believe their company is “very prepared” for cyberattacks. Top employee concerns include phishing (52%), external threats (42%), and lack of encryption (41%). 

The cybersecurity concerns can be attributed to the rise in AI and the data center resources needed to power it. Ninety-five percent of executives and 89% of employees viewed data centers as integral to managing the vast amounts of customer and client data, with AI (66%) as the key growth driver. Beyond its role as a growth engine, integrating AI and emerging technologies (48%) and navigating related regulations (35%) also ranked among executives’ top future challenges. Leaders overwhelmingly recognize AI’s transformative impact, with 95% stating increased AI use affects data storage strategies, and 87% believing AI fundamentally reshapes business challenges.

“The exponential growth of the data center underscores its critical role in our economy,” said Murrey. “Yet, our research reveals a significant confidence gap in meeting future demands (57% C-Suite, 37% employees). To meet these demands executives shared that cybersecurity (82%), problem-solving (79%), and communication (61%) skills are considered essential, while recruiting, retention, and upskilling remain significant challenges.”
