New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city has created over 15,000 apprenticeship opportunities in less than three years, surpassing the halfway mark of its goal to create 30,000 apprenticeships by 2030. The initiative focuses on diversity and aims to expand opportunities beyond traditional construction and skilled trades into new industries like healthcare, technology, and public service.
Per Scholas is proud to be a part of this initiative. "Per Scholas is honored to partner with the NYC Talent Apprenticeship Accelerator to help drive this success by equipping New Yorkers across all five boroughs with the skills they need to thrive in tech careers," Per Scholas President and CEO Plinio Ayala said.
