At Persevere, we believe in the power of second chances. Every day, we witness extraordinary transformations as individuals rise above their challenges, rebuild their lives, and unlock their full potential. Our graduates are living proof that with the right tools, support, and opportunities, the impossible becomes possible.

From mastering technology skills in fields like Full Stack Development, Data Analytics, and Project Management to earning industry-recognized certifications such as CompTIA Network+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner, our graduates emerge as skilled professionals ready to contribute to the workforce. But their journey doesn’t end there—it’s only the beginning. This is where you, as a partner, come into the picture.

The Persevere Graduate Journey

Our graduates come from diverse backgrounds, often facing significant barriers such as justice involvement, limited access to education, or gaps in employment. Despite these challenges, they persevere, not only acquiring technical expertise but also building resilience, confidence, and a deep sense of purpose.

Each graduate represents a story of triumph—of overcoming the odds and stepping into a future filled with potential. Through our holistic wraparound services, we ensure their success doesn’t stop at the classroom door. We provide mentorship, job placement support, and life skills training to help them transition smoothly into meaningful careers.
