Can you imagine a 16-week, intense training class, all geared toward getting you a high-paying job in tech? And it’s not going to cost you anything – no tuition, no books and you don’t even need a computer!

The initiative, called Command Shift, brings together several companies to try and bridge tech’s diversity gap by opening up more opportunities for women of color in the industry.
The coalition includes Fortune 500 companies including Citi, Amazon Web Services, Comcast NBCUniversal, and Guardian Life to help non-degreed women of color access tech careers.
This April, we celebrate National Volunteer Month and recognize the IT executives and professionals from across the country who engage with NPower students in high impact and meaningful events such as career coaching, mentoring, tech challenges, and more. We appreciate the individuals who give their time to transform the lives of deserving young adults, veterans or military spouses coming through the NPower program.
