PLACEMENT TBD
KEVIN TRAN
My passion for helping others led me to my college Job Fair Club, where I facilitated the 2019 spring job fair. This event connected me to NPower. Joining NPower allowed me to learn about the growing IT field and equipped me with the skills to fulfill my dream of building a company that develops miniature medical devices. After graduating from college, I hope to work in the technology, aerospace, or biomedical industries for a few years, then return to school to obtain my MS in mechanical engineering, with a specialization in heat transfer and solid mechanics. This will propel me to new heights!

DIRECT PLACEMENT Murphy, McKay, & Associates I came to the Bay Area two years ago after graduating from college in the Philippines. I studied IT and majored in game development, but being new to the area, I didn’t have any connections and struggled to find work since game development has high industry standards. I felt lost, so when a friend referred me to NPower, I quickly applied. Even though my major is game development, IT is related to my career. NPower helped me develop professional and technical skills. I learned more about technology and security, including troubleshooting, creating a network system, and configuring routers and switches. Everything became clear to me; I finally know what I want to do in the future! My goal is to become a desktop support analyst and explore network engineering.

DIRECT PLACEMENT Murphy, McKay, & Associates Before NPower, I was struggling to find meaningful employment. My EDD veteran representative told me about this program, and once I met with the staff, I knew I was on the right track to launch a career in IT. NPower has given me the tools professionally and personally to succeed in a field I thought wouldn’t be possible for me; it opened my eyes to a plethora of possibilities and opportunities. I plan to use my experience and the knowledge I obtained to begin a career as a network security engineer.
