Coaching Sessions provide an opportunity to engage NPower trainees in the process of professional development while providing them with additional confidence to support them in our program. Coaching Sessions provide a relaxed environment for trainees to gain valuable advice from seasoned professionals.
At the time of the event, trainees will be amidst their online technical training. A small group of 3 - 6 NPower trainees are matched with a volunteer to discuss career concerns and gain valuable insight from seasoned tech professionals that have successfully navigated the corporate environment.

NPower creates pathways to economic prosperity by launching digital careers for military veterans and young adults from under-represented communities.
We focus on two populations that experience barriers to employment - low-income veterans and young adults (ages 18-26) - and give them the support, skills, and industry-recognized certification needed to fill in-demand tech jobs. We offer our program free of charge to those who need us most - men and women earning less than 200% of the federal poverty level - and they primarily come from racial and socioeconomic backgrounds underrepresented in the tech industry. Our work addresses some of the biggest challenges of our times: racial inequities in access to education and opportunity, rampant unemployment, and lack of diversity in the tech workforce.
Founded in 2000, NPower has grown to operate in various markets across the country: New York, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, and California.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
