Per Scholas

Starting the week by celebrating the newest technologists from Per Scholas Philadelphia! 🎓

This cybersecurity cohort put in the work, built new skills, and reached an incredible milestone on their journey into tech. We're proud of all they’ve accomplished and can't wait to see where their careers take them next. 🚀

A great headshot is more than just a photo. It's often the first introduction to future employers and new opportunities. 📸

Recently, learners at Per Scholas North Carolina participated in a professional headshot session as they prepare for the next steps in their tech careers. We're proud to support learners as they build both technical skills and professional confidence.

Thank you to Fenix Fotography for capturing these moments!

With this renewed funding, Per Scholas will continue providing no-cost, high-quality training and professional development across the nation. Since 2021 we have partnered with the NFL to connect skilled talent and leading businesses, launching life-changing careers in technology.
