Before starting at NPower, I was struggling to find work. I wanted to find something that felt concrete, something that would help me go forward in life and equip me with job security and career growth.

At NPower, I learned not only about information technology, but also how to network, find mentors, and learn about career placement.

After completing the (free!) program, I am equipped with four certifications! My talented instructors were the best. This program got me a foot in the door of the career path I want!

Falling from the stars and into the wires, I initially thought I wanted to be an astronomer who would look through a telescope all day and draw planets under the tantalizing stars in an observatory. I eventually came to the reality that there’s more to astronomy than looking through a telescope. So, I came back to earth to pursue IT. My journey led me to NPower, which led me to obtaining my ITF+ certification and Google support certificate. I am now working as an IT technician intern and pursuing my A+ certification. I will be graduating with my associate’s degree in computer support tech and will be on my way to a great career!

I had experience as a student technician while in school. I joined NPower to learn more about computer hardware, software, networking, security, and troubleshooting as well as to gain certifications. Also, the organization agreed to assist me in getting a help desk technician internship and possibly a job. Currently, I have the CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ and Google IT Support certificates.

I am aiming for the CompTIA A+ one, all thanks to NPower!

Before taking my first step toward IT with NPower, I was trying to figure out my career path while working as a disassembly technician.

I attended coding boot camps on weekends to make sure that this was the right step for me. Figuring out the bugs in code and building programs was love at first sight, but I wanted to make sure. I started doing projects and deepening my tech understanding. I learned that the help desk was a great first step, but it was hard to find a job with little relevant experience.

Then I found NPower! It was amazing to gain knowledge in hardware, networking, and how to carry myself in a professional setting. NPower helped me get further than I ever thought possible!

Then I found NPower, and that's when I knew I had a way forward. Since then, I’ve gotten several IT certifications and now I finally have a foot in the door to truly begin my IT career.

Before starting NPower, I was a full-time student in computer science, working at an Amazon warehouse to gain some relevant experience. Joining NPower has helped me solidify my knowledge of IT and transform my career. I learned about troubleshooting and problem-solving. Since I am passionate about coding, I want to take it one step further and join the software developer internship program to learn more about professional programming in the business field.

Before I began my journey at NPower, I was really struggling with the motivation to do anything.

College wasn’t going well, and COVID forced classes into an online environment. When I lost my job, I had no direction. Then a friend told me about NPower.

After scanning the website, I just knew this was where I belonged.

With all the things that I learned, from tech fundamentals to how to conduct myself professionally, I value all of it to the nth degree!

After countless hours of trying to find employment, I came across NPower. This opportunity has been so beneficial! It has equipped me with the tools needed to transition into a field that is in demand and one that will allow me to grow.

Looking for somewhere to be has been the overarching theme of my life, and a career is no exception.

With dreams of being in the military, making life-long friends, and seeing places and sights I would never would see otherwise, I thought I had things all figured out by freshman year in high school. You can probably tell how that went, but let me tell you why. I couldn’t join because of a chronic blood disease, sickle cell anemia. My desires were crushed.

Ultimately, this led me towards the tech field; I’ve always been around computers, and the verisimilitudes of a career in the armed forces faded expeditiously.

Now, pursuing a path to becoming a physical-penetration tester, I’m studying cybersecurity. NPower has helped me more than I can thank them for!

Before NPower, I was working entry-level jobs with no relevant experience, just roaming around the workforce. Also, I had no certifications or degrees and felt I needed more. During my time in NPower, I’ve become certified in ITF+ along with gaining great peers and mentors who inspired me. Now I’m enroute to passing my CompTIA A+ certification exams with the help of the NPower team!

Before NPower, I was graduating high school and working as a cashier at Walmart. I felt stagnant and knew that I wanted to find a career that challenged me in a field where I could grow. I always enjoyed working with computers and being the technical support for my family, but there were not many opportunities to grow.

That’s when I came across NPower.

Their whole mission involves jumpstarting my life and career!

The education that I’ve gotten in a short time has completely revamped my mindset!

Before I joined NPower, I was working a retail job, not really wanting to go back to college.

NPower has helped me obtain my A+ certification, and the necessary skills to start networking and building my resume and cover letters. I also met people high up in the IT field who shared their experiences. NPower has helped me get started in a career in IT with much more motivation and enthusiasm.

I was led to NPower by my interest in IT from the age of 6 years old. I always was fascinated by being able to control what was going on the screen. Even though, I liked technology, I was never certain if it was the “one” in terms of making a career out of it. After going to community college for 3 semesters, I knew that college in general wasn’t for me. This caused me to be quite uncertain when came to my future. With discovering and going through NPower’s program, I now feel confident about my future and can say I’m grateful for the opportunity and the additional doors it has opened for me!

Before starting NPower, I was unemployed and struggling to stay motivated. Joining NPower gave me a chance to start a new career path and changed the trajectory of my life and the life of my family.

Once I got more involved with NPower, it totally gave me the motivation and drive I knew I possessed. With the mentorship and networking NPower provides, this is a game changer!

Soon after graduating high school, I saw an opportunity at NPower and gave it a shot. And now that I am in the class and have experienced what they have to offer, I am so grateful for the opportunity. After I graduate, I want to acquire more advanced skills in the IT field and earn certifications.

I am a constantly curious nerd who loves to explore new technologies and understand older ones. Raised in Michigan, I love nature and supporting green technologies that help preserve our ecosystems and advance our goals. I am particularly interested in system maintenance, networking, and troubleshooting, all of which NPower will introduce me to!

Before NPower, I was working a job where I was miserable. I was making no money and was filled with many emotions before and after work. Then one day I was presented with the opportunity to join NPower. Since then, I’ve earned certifications with Google, an internship with Microsoft, and so much more. And the best part is that I have long-term relationships.
