Our mission remains the same. Our ambition is growing. And we’re excited about what’s next.
Today, Per Scholas announced that Caitlyn Brazill will become our CEO and President on January 1, 2027, succeeding CEO Plinio Ayala after 28 years of leadership.
The world of work is changing rapidly, and so is how we prepare people for it—from AI-enabled learning and new pathways to stronger employer connections and innovative ways for learners and alumni to keep advancing.
Caitlyn has helped lead much of this evolution over nearly a decade in senior leadership at Per Scholas.
Please join us in celebrating this next chapter for Per Scholas as we continue to accelerate careers and transform lives in our local community and across the country.
