Say hello to John–a Per Scholas learner graduating THIS FRIDAY! 🎓

After experiencing a setback that kept him from working, John was looking for a fresh start. When a friend told him about Per Scholas, he jumped on the opportunity to build a brand-new career in IT.

It took grit, teamwork, and an open mind. From translating complex Network Defense concepts to relying on his classmates to push through tough study sessions, John’s determination paid off when the concepts clicked—turning frustration into total confidence.

John's takeaway? "Closed mouths don't get fed. If you don't understand, ask questions."
