Comcast Announces $1 Million Commitment to Per Scholas to Combat the Tech Opportunity Gap Across the U.S. <\/b><\/p>\n

Comcast will serve as a founding corporate partner, helping Per Scholas to expand training sites and prepare 1,000 diverse learners for careers in technology through remote training<\/i><\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nComcast NBCUniversal today announced a $1 million commitment to national tech training nonprofit Per Scholas<\/a> to scale its remote operations and train 1,000 learners \u2014 87% of whom are people of color, 30% women, and 60% with no degree beyond high school \u2014 for in-demand technology jobs. The partnership will enable Per Scholas to provide tuition-free training remotely to diverse talent in 10 U.S. markets, with programs in IT support, software engineering, cybersecurity, and cloud support.\n<\/p>\n

\nAt a time when millions of Americans have been laid off or furloughed due to COVID-related circumstances, this partnership with Comcast will help Per Scholas keep up with growing demand for its programs and train individuals for promising careers in technology. In addition to a comprehensive, market-driven curriculum, learners from Atlanta, Baltimore, Greater Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, the National Capital Region, Newark, Philadelphia, and New York will also receive career support services, financial coaching, technology toolkits, and networking opportunities with a variety of Fortune 500 hiring partners.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAt Per Scholas, we know that a thriving workforce starts with equitable access to education, which is why we\u2019ve dedicated the last 25 years to training diverse talent that is traditionally underrepresented in the tech field,\u201d said Plinio Ayala, President and CEO of Per Scholas. \u201cIn light of COVID-19 and the accelerated shift to remote work that we\u2019re seeing, expanding this work is more important than ever \u2013 and we\u2019d be unable to do so without the help of incredible partners like Comcast. This investment will allow us to expand across the U.S. and adapt our training models to meet changing employer needs. We could not be more excited to have Comcast\u2019s support in this essential expansion initiative.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to creating 1,000 accessible careers in technology, Comcast NBCUniversal\u2019s partnership will power an ambitious expansion of Per Scholas training sites in Philadelphia and Chicago. With Comcast as a founding champion partner in Philadelphia, the nonprofit will be able to enroll 100 highly skilled, tech-savvy adults to train for tech careers. In the growing tech hub of Chicago, Comcast\u2019s support as a founding partner will enable Per Scholas to enroll 80 individuals to access tech careers.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn New York, Comcast NBCUniversal will also support Per Scholas\u2019 Tech Career Exploration program in 20 high schools throughout the city. Through this interactive curriculum, teachers will be trained to assist students as they explore careers in IT support, computer networking, and cybersecurity.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cToday\u2019s workforce training programs need to keep pace with an economy dramatically changed by COVID-19. Per Scholas\u2019 work to prepare diverse learners for careers in technology has never been more critical and we are proud to launch this significant new partnership by supporting training centers in 10 cities, including Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York,\u201d said Dalila Wilson-Scott, Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer at Comcast. \u201cBy providing tuition-free training remotely to underrepresented communities, Per Scholas shares our commitment to an equitable and diverse tech sector, ensuring that more people have equal access to the education and training needed to succeed.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nComcast will also become a leading voice and sponsor for Diverse by Design (DxD) in 2021 \u2013 a national conversation series led by Per Scholas that focuses on increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the technology workforce across the U.S. Since its launch in 2016, DxD has engaged more than 800 leaders over seven conferences. Looking ahead, Comcast NBCUniversal employees will engage in a variety of volunteer opportunities to foster tech careers for young adults and adult learners.\n<\/p>\n

\nComcast has long been committed to addressing digital inequities so that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed in an increasingly digital world. Since 2011, its low-income, high-speed broadband adoption program, Internet Essentials, has connected more than 8 million Americans to the Internet at home. Beyond connectivity, Comcast is also focused on providing digital skills training to young people and to upskilling adults with the aim of improving economic mobility. Comcast\u2019s investment in Per Scholas is part of the company\u2019s multi-year $100 million commitment to fight injustice and inequality and will help address the tech opportunity gap across the U.S.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMy training at Per Scholas has changed the entire trajectory of my life,\u201d says Davida Garner, a recent Per Scholas Philadelphia graduate. \u201cI am now pursuing a career in IT as a technical support analyst. In the year since I graduated from Per Scholas, I have noticed that my professional confidence has gone up and I am able to learn more quickly, as I have a solid foundation in IT. Where I am now, will allow me to further my career and also pass down my knowledge to those coming behind me.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nOn average, approximately 85% of students accepted into Per Scholas will go on to graduate, 80% of graduates will secure employment at an average wage of at least $20 an hour, and 75% will retain employment beyond one year in the IT field. Historically, alumni will also make roughly three times more in their first job after graduation than their pre-training wage.\n<\/p>\n
