Kelly had dabbled in tech and found it interesting, but he had never seriously considered pursuing it as a career option. He was working in various capacities in the political sphere and seemed to be growing in this field but wasn’t satisfied with the inconsistent employment opportunities that didn’t allow for a healthy work-life balance.

Kelly also was apprehensive of pursuing tech as a career as he was intimidated by the idea of returning to school. He attempted to take a cybersecurity bootcamp with a top university but could not finish due to the financial burden. Kelly decided to take a break and figure out what he really wanted to do in life and applied to many jobs in different areas but received many denials.

While job searching, he discovered NPower and notes that it was the best thing he could ever be a part of. Not only did he learn about the fundamentals of tech, and receive certifications within months, while honing his professional development skills, he solidified that he wanted a career in Project Management in an IT environment.

Kelly has recently explored furthering his education to advance his career at his current company.

 “Furthermore, the greatest thing about the program was that it was completely free and all I had to do was sacrifice my time to learn. Joining NPower was the best decision I’ve made and I’m eager to see what my IT journey has ahead of me.”
