PROGRAMMING PILOTS

PYN’s Skilled Career Pathways for Young Talent initiative, launched in 2020, seeks to connect young people disconnected from school and work to middle-skills roles in the healthcare and tech industries through training, mentorship and development.

In the past year, PYN and training partners of the initiative were able to connect 62 opportunity youth with local healthcare and tech employers, such as Urban Technology Project, International SOS, InspiriTec, Home Care Associates, Health Fleet Ambulance and Enroute Marketing.

PYN also hosted various career readiness and networking events, directly connecting dozens of youth to employers and thought leaders in the healthcare and tech industries.

“ Our participation in the Skilled Career Pathways initiative is so critically important. At Per Scholas, we know that access to opportunity is not equal. Per Scholas is committed to partnerships – like the one we have with PYN –that increase access and create opportunities for our graduates, the future of Philadelphia’s diverse tech workforce.”
