Per Scholas Successes Graduates' Stories Graduates' Stories Wanda Tucker was attracted to the fast paced computer industry, but lacked the skills necessary to be hired into it. Several agencies recommended her to Per Scholas, where, after basic testing and a brief personal interview, she was welcomed into the computer technician training program. I was impressed with the fact that they wouldn't allow just anyone into the program, like most training courses. The Per Scholas selection process helps assure that the trainees who do enter our program will get the most out of it. We look for people who are serious about building a career.
Training is intense.
Wanda had to make sacrifices to attend the program. Recently out of work, she had to find a part-time job to fit around the training schedule. Wanda learned to budget her finances and put in study time to maintain a 95 average. Per Scholas offered Wanda help with resumes and interviews, as well as high-quality instruction in computer technology. The most positive aspect of the program was that we werent limited to just building and taking apart computers.
