Michigan

Empowering Southeast Michigan young adults and veterans with in-demand tech skills.

NPower Michigan is an end-to-end solution for creating equity and closing the talent gap within Michigan’s technology workforce.

Detroit is currently the second-largest concentration of engineering talent in the U.S.—standing second to the original Silicon Valley.

According to the CompTIA State of the Tech Workforce 2023 report, Detroit has over 114,000* overall tech job openings, which is a key indicator of the employer demand for tech talent. This results in a growing need for tech workers — especially junior, entry-level talent.

With over 9% of Detroit’s young adults unemployed (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics), NPower Michigan aims to arm young adults, military veterans, and military spouses of Detroit with the skills needed to fill an ever-growing tech talent pipeline.
