Myth vs. Fact: Hiring Per Scholas Baltimore Alumni

Myth: A four-year degree is required to succeed in tech or tech-adjacent roles

Fact: Per Scholas Baltimore supports skills-based hiring. Learners are trained to meet role
requirements through hands-on experience, certifications, and technical literacy.

Companies miss out on top talent when degrees are used as a proxy for skills.
Degree-first hiring often shrinks the talent pool, slows time-to-hire, and overlooks candidates with hands-on experience, strong professionalism, and real-world readiness. In fast-moving tech, CX, and operations roles, skills-based talent is often the better fit.

If a degree-first approach hasn’t worked for you—and you’re seeking driven, job-ready tech talent with hands-on training—join us at the Per Scholas Baltimore Q2 Hiring Mixer.
📅 April 3 | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Meet emerging talent for entry to mid-level tech, tech-adjacent, CX, and professional roles.

Victor Aviles’ story shows what is possible when curiosity meets access and support.
After working in software sales, Victor realized he wanted a more hands-on role in technology. Through Per Scholas and the AWS re/Start program, he took a leap into cloud computing. With foundational training from Cisco Networking Academy, Victor gained practical experience, earned his AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, and landed his first tech role in under a year.

Victor didn’t stop there. As an alumnus, he continued learning through advanced courses, including ethical hacking, building deeper technical confidence and clarity about his future in cloud technology.

His journey is a reminder that career pivots are possible with the right training, community, and dedication.
