NPower’s Tech Fundamentals program gives 18 to 26-year-olds and military-connected individuals the opportunity to obtain coveted tech skills, IT certifications and access to coveted tech jobs - without any cost. 

The 20-week training program is a Registered Apprenticeship Program with the US Department of Labor. It addresses barriers that exist among young adults, military families and women of color trying to launch careers in technology. NPower graduates see an average starting salary of $48,631, according to national data from NPower.

The City of Dayton and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation are funding NPower’s latest expansion into Ohio.

“Ohio is quickly becoming the low-cost alternative to Silicon Valley, and Dayton is best positioned for this growth,” said Demarus Crawford-White - Executive Director of NPower Ohio. “The City of Dayton understands if we are going to compete for the best IT and tech jobs, we need to ensure our young people are equipped with the skills for this new digital economy. This free program will pave the way for young adults and military connected individuals to obtain those in-demand job skills.”

Over the past decade, NPower has provided IT, cloud, and cyber training to residents in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Missouri, Michigan, Maryland, North Carolina and California. 

More than 9,000 NPower graduates have gone on to launch tech careers with Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized enterprises, government agencies, staffing firms, and nonprofit organizations. Eighty percent of all NPower students secure employment or continue their education within 6 months of graduation.

Information technology occupations are projected to grow 12 percent from 2014 to 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More than 60,000 people are employed in the Ohio IT industry, with a large cluster focused around the Dayton region.

NPower’s program is projected to help 125 local residents acquire in-demand tech skills within the first two years of this partnership.
