Transforming Potential into Purpose
Every day, talented people face barriers that stand between them and a thriving career.
For veterans and military spouses, transitioning from military life can mean navigating career uncertainty, unemployment, or underemployment. For young adults from under-resourced communities, limited access to education, professional networks, and career opportunities can make economic mobility feel out of reach.
Yet they share something important in common: potential.
NPower helps turn that potential into opportunity and bridges the gap.
NPower is a national nonprofit that creates pathways to economic mobility through tuition-free technology training, industry-recognized certifications, career readiness coaching, and job placement support. Serving unemployed and underemployed veterans, military spouses, and young adults, NPower equips motivated individuals with the skills and support needed to launch successful careers in technology.
Since 2013, NPower Dallas Fort Worth has supported over 66% of all NPower graduates in landing employment or continuing education after the program. In 2025, NPower trainees entered the program earning an average of $15,838 annually. Within one year, graduates secured permanent IT roles with an average starting salary of $53,598—a 238% increase.
The result is more than a new job. It's a stronger future for individuals, families, and communities.
A New Mission, A New Future
For U.S. Air Force veteran Tahjee Speight, the transition to civilian life came with a new responsibility: building a better future for his family. After discovering NPower through the VA, he gained hands-on technical training, industry certifications, and the confidence to pursue a career in technology. Today, Tahjee works as an IT Technician at Mr. Cooper and is creating new opportunities for himself and his sons. His story reflects what's possible when talent meets opportunity.
And he is just one of thousands of NPower alumni whose lives have been transformed through access to education, support, and career pathways.
