Mohammed N. – Ontario – Junior IT Analyst – 2019
Before joining NPower Canada, Mohammed worked part-time as a warehouse associate. Despite his determination to build a career in IT, he faced repeated setbacks when applying for jobs in his field. He realized that a lack of professionalism and credibility was holding him back.
Determined to change his trajectory, Mohammed enrolled in NPower Canada’s Junior IT Analyst program in 2019. His goal was clear: to gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the IT industry.
During the program, Mohammed found the personal and professional development training transformative. Learning how to set SMART goals and plan milestones was an eye-opener; skills he had never encountered in school. These lessons gave him the tools to turn aspirations into actionable steps.
After graduating, Mohammed landed a role as Research Desk Clerk at Walmart Canada Logistics; a breakthrough moment after applying for similar roles more than ten times without success. Thanks to his improved interview skills and ability to showcase his value, he finally secured the opportunity.
Today, Mohammed has advanced into a pivotal leadership role at Walmart as Assistant General Manager for the company’s Regional Distribution Center in the Central Region. In this position, he oversees 12 Operations Managers and drives operational excellence across the facility. He leads with passion and a growth mindset, applying the professional and personal development tools he gained through NPower Canada to inspire his team. His career highlights include contributing to major projects and start-ups, most notably the launch of Walmart Canada’s Flagship Automated Distribution Center in Vaughan, where he played a key role in fit-ups, commissioning, testing, SOP development, training, and onboarding.
Since completing the program, Mohammed has also dedicated himself to mentoring youth entering the job market. Sharing his knowledge and guiding others has brought him joy and fulfillment, reinforcing his belief in the importance of career readiness.
Mohammed’s journey is a testament to resilience and opportunity. He is proud to share his story and deeply grateful for the transformative role NPower Canada has played in shaping his life and career.
