We are proud to support military spouses as they build long-term careers in tech. For many military spouses, launching a career in IT may feel out of reach, especially while balancing relocations, transitions, and the demands of military life. But stories from military spouses, like NPower alum Tassy Gallahar, show what’s possible with support, training, and belief in yourself. #MilitarySpouse #MilitaryAppreciationMonth #MilitarySpouses #NPower

We are kicking off Military Appreciation Month reflecting on the accomplishments and milestones of our military-connected graduates! 🫡 #MilitaryAppreciation #VeteranSupport #SupportOurTroops #NPower
