Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: NPower

The goal of the Mock Interviews is to support students in NPower’s App Development Program, which empowers women to claim their space in tech. This event provides students with the opportunity to develop their interviewing skills, gain valuable experience, and build confidence by practicing with IT/Tech professionals, business leaders, or recruiters who have 3+ years of professional experience.

Join us for the Mock Interview event in honor of Women’s History Month, where you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping NPower App Development students prepare for their careers in tech. During this event, volunteers will conduct multiple 30-minute simulated interviews with students, offering constructive feedback on their performance. Your insights and guidance will help students refine their interviewing skills, build confidence, and better position themselves for success in the IT/Tech industry.

About NPower

Location:

55 Washington St, Brooklyn, NY 11201, US

Mission Statement

NPower creates pathways to economic prosperity by launching digital careers for military veterans and young adults from under-represented communities.

Description

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.
