PLA University, Phalen’s free job training and placement program for adults, is proud to announce the official launch of its first class in Fort Worth, Texas.
The program, which began to support PLA families in Indianapolis, will now reach PLA families in Fort Worth at Chapel Hill Academy and Fort Worth ISD’s J. Martin Jacquet Middle School. The program is recruiting high-powered partners and local universities. The first Fort Worth class starts in January.
“Our commitment to our scholars and the communities in which we serve has always been and will always be very strong,” said PLA Founder and CEO, Earl Martin Phalen.
“We just began our partnership in Fort Worth this school year, and we are excited that along with the scholar support that PLA provides, we are also able to make this deep economic investment in our families and in the community. It shows that PLA is in it for our scholars–for the long haul. We will always do whatever we can to improve their outcomes and uplift the families we serve,” he added.
PLA University was designed to create economic parity and give PLA adult family members an opportunity to train in high-demand career fields, secure a certification, and then be placed with an employer paying a competitive salary plus benefits.
