Per Scholas

As COVID-19 moves everything online, researchers at BroadbandTV (BBTV) estimated that 42 million Americans are without internet. 1 in 3 Per Scholas applicants also don’t have the #technology they need to participate in our #remotelearning and career training. Our 1,000 Careers Campaign aims to fix this problem. We’re raising $1 million to provide 1,000 Per Scholas learners with technology toolkits to support their remote education. Get involved with the campaign: perscholas.org/1000careers

Per Scholas Columbus joins forces with Nationwide for a new #apprenticeship initiative that will directly match Per Scholas learners within the company's junior talent pipeline with a custom-trained cohort of nontraditional #tech trainees.

The #COVID19 pandemic has left tens of millions of Americans unemployed, with Black and Hispanic communities being disproportionately impacted. This inequity is further magnified by the #digitaldivide - roughly 1 in 5 Americans have no access to broadband services or laptops. To address this, Per Scholas is raising $1 million by the end of 2020 to supply 1,000 #technology toolkits to Per Scholas learners training for future employment and to continue technology training for h...igh-growth careers that support the economy. Support our campaign today and share it with your networks! Let's reboot the economy together! give.classy.org/1000careers
