Bronx, NY – This August, the Bronx community witnessed a significant moment as Per Scholas President & CEO, Plinio Ayala, took part in the Employer Support of the Guard & Reserve (ESGR) Signing Ceremony. The Ceremony, facilitated by Mary Westmoreland, a decorated combat veteran and the New York State Vice Chair for the Department of Defense ESGR Program, underscored Per Scholas' dedication to providing opportunities and support for those who have served our country, ensuring they have the tools and resources needed to succeed in the tech industry. In front of an audience of employer partners and colleagues, George Darby III, Veteran and Per Scholas' Director of Veteran Recruitment & Partnerships, reaffirmed the organization's ongoing commitment to military families. This commitment was further solidified with the public launch of the Veterans in Tech program, an initiative designed to support veterans transitioning into the technology sector.
