Millions of Americans have been laid off, lost hours or are looking to adapt to a more tech-enabled workforce due to the coronavirus pandemic. In turn, many are turning to bootcamps or tech education courses to recession-proof their careers.

National tech training nonprofit Per Scholas offers training, career support services, financial coaching, technology toolkits and networking to folks looking to move into the tech sector, and a recent $1 million commitment from Comcast NBCUniversal will help scale the org’s operations, the nonprofit announced this week.

The monetary commitment will allow the org to train 1,000 learners — 87% of whom are people of color, 30% women and 60% with no degree beyond high school — for in-demand tech jobs, Per Scholas said. The partnership will allow the org to provide tuition-free training remotely to talent in 10 markets, including Philadelphia, with programs focusing in IT support, software engineering, cyber security and cloud support.
