The first group of Dominguez scholars recently graduated from the school and program, and several were hired by the company and launched their working career.
According to Kingsley Udo, a teacher at Dominguez High School, the program was made a huge impact on the participating scholars: “We’re preparing our students to go into tech, particularly in networking, and Convergint helped get our students into the physical security and access control industry.”
