Upskilling veterans and youth to build a tech talent pipeline

NPower has helped hundreds of students in Jersey City with its “Tech Fundamentals” course, mentoring and helping them find tech jobs after graduation. Because of the program’s success, it has now expanded to Newark, with the launch of our first class in September 2019.
