Platform by Per Scholas operates in IT services and IT consulting, focusing on workforce development through customized training tracks. These tracks are designed to place learners directly into hiring pipelines with prominent technology employers. The program is an extension of the Per Scholas approach, offering free, practical training along with career development resources and interview opportunities to help progress into technology roles. It is based in the Bronx, New York, and functions as a relatively small organization. A notable development is a partnership with Cognizant to design and deliver the first set of customized courses, illustrating collaboration between a major professional services firm and Platform. The model aims to bridge training and employment by strengthening the technology workforce pipeline in the industry.
