NPower Canada gives their participants practice, critical thinking and problem-solving tools that most entry level positions require. We know that people who have been through [the program] are interested in tech and have a solid knowledge base. Their onboarding time was 10 per cent less than normal.
- Ryan Fukunaga, Executive Director, Free Geek Toronto
Working with NPower Canada has been a great overall experience that I am proud to be a part of. The quality of the candidates have brought great energy to the organization and our interns have done a fantastic job. It is great to see them taking on new challenges and watching their growth.
- Mike Poessy, Global Service Desk Manager, Mozilla
We were searching for a new hire for several weeks but shortly after we started interviewing NPower Canada participants we knew we found the perfect candidates. As new employees they get up to speed quickly. We knew we had the perfect employee within 50 per cent of the usual 3 month probation.
