In this inspiring episode of Teach Me Something, hosts DJ Prostyle and Penny Dellas sit down with Lourdes Nanong, a bold, results-driven leader redefining workforce development and talent strategy in the tech industry. Currently serving as Director of Talent Solutions at Per Scholas, Lourdes made history by stepping into the role just 10 months after being promoted to Senior Manager, setting a record for rapid advancement. With over 2½ years at Per Scholas, she designs innovative, inclusive pipelines that connect underrepresented talent to high-growth tech careers — transforming lives while driving real business impact.


A proud Berkeley College alumna, Lourdes’ journey is a powerful testament to grit, balance, and belief. While earning her BA in Business Administration and Management, she worked full-time as a Pharmacy Technician during the week, weekends in Midtown Manhattan hospitality, and attended classes at night — all while securing competitive internships at Bloomberg and RDA Enterprises.
From workforce development to equity in tech, Lourdes’ story is about breaking barriers, challenging norms, and opening doors for the next generation.
