About Us
About Pay IT Forward
At Pay IT Forward, we're not just a Technical service, staffing, and recruiting agency; we're a catalyst for change in the STEM employment landscape. Our mission is to bridge the gap between talented individuals, eager to pursue STEM careers, and forward-thinking employers who recognize the power of diversity and skills beyond traditional degrees.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every individual, regardless of their background or formal education, has an equal opportunity to thrive in the STEM workforce. We believe in a future where talent, skills, and passion are valued above all else.
Our Story
Pay IT Forward was born out of a profound need in the workforce training industry. We witnessed countless individuals graduating from training programs with industry-recognized credentials but struggling to secure employment due to a lack of trust in their training providers and inconsistent program quality.
We recognized a systemic problem: a misplaced reliance on traditional higher education, where individuals with degrees often edged out those with practical skills and knowledge. We decided it was time to level the playing field and provide opportunities for those who deserved recognition based on their abilities, not just their diplomas.
Our Impact
Our success is not just measured in numbers but in lives changed. We gauge our impact by the number of individuals placed in gainful employment, the satisfaction of our employer partners, and the duration of candidate placements. Every job filled through Pay IT Forward represents an opportunity seized and a step toward a more inclusive workforce.
