Per Scholas Rolls Out Claude-Based AI Tutor for Job Training

Per Scholas, a Bronx-based nonprofit vocational training organization, has embedded a specialized AI assistant built on Anthropic's large language model Claude across its training programs, using it for tutoring and mock interviews. As universities warn that generative AI threatens the essence of learning, settings focused on practical skill-building are increasingly treating AI as an asset rather than a threat. The case was featured in a Bloomberg Opinion piece dated July 1, 2026, which notes that AI could eventually handle up to 70% of instruction.
