Merit America empowers adults without bachelor's degrees to launch thriving tech careers. We achieve this through fast, flexible, part-time training programs that combine online learning with personalized coaching and robust job placement support. Our impact is significant: we've generated a projected $1 billion in near-term wage gains for our learners since 2018. We partner with industry leaders like JPMorgan Chase and Infosys to provide in-demand skills training in areas such as Java Development, Data Analytics, and IT Support. Our tech stack reflects our commitment to modern, scalable solutions. We leverage a robust infrastructure encompassing Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, nginx, Apache, Cloudflare, and jsDelivr. We foster a collaborative, remote-first work environment that values innovation and continuous learning. Our team is dedicated to breaking the cycle of low-wage work, promoting upward mobility, and creating a more equitable future. We prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion at every level of the organization. Merit America is a rapidly growing national nonprofit with a clear mission: to build a scalable pathway for workers to join the middle class through merit, not money. We're backed by significant funding and are actively expanding our programs to reach more learners across the country. We offer a comprehensive benefits package including a 4-day work week, 100% paid employee-only medical coverage, and unlimited vacation after a 90-day introductory period. Our commitment to our employees is as strong as our commitment to our mission.
