Since 1997, Paramount Capital Group has been providing alternative financing for trade schools, technical schools, and other educational service providers. We have established innovative solutions that traditional lenders do not provide, allowing you to offer an education to individuals with lower or limited credit histories. We have partnered with over 700 schools in industries such as: CDL driver training, information technology, culinary arts, skilled trades, cosmetology, film production, and healthcare. Financing with Paramount gives you the opportunity to fill empty seats with students you may have previously turned away due to a lack of available funds. Our programs are geared specifically towards these under-served students, so we in turn assist in increasing your revenue and giving students the chance they deserve at a new career.

City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of leaders. City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in English and math assessments, and the more time students spend with AmeriCorps members, the more they improve on skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community. A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is supported by AmeriCorps, local school districts and private philanthropy. City Year partners with public schools in 29 communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa.
