Per Scholas is proud to announce that we have been awarded funding from WorkRise, as part of a $2.8 million grant to support innovative pilot studies that test solutions to boost workers' economic mobility.
This grant will enable Per Scholas and MDRC to understand whether adding alumni advancement coaching services – such as 1:1 coaching, group coaching, employment technical assistance (career plans and résumé reviews), and upskilling referrals – will measurably impact an individual's trajectory toward a thriving wage, and how these interventions impact different demographic groups.
