As he thought about the future beyond the military, he considered a career in law enforcement. \u201cI thought it was going to be the next big opportunity for me,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it didn\u2019t quite go to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n Lopez was always interested in computers and reached out to a military friend to talk through his options. He was worried that he may be too late in the game to begin a tech career, but the conversation turned to NPower, and he felt hopeful. He decided to apply to the tech fundamentals program in Dallas and was immediately accepted. While at NPower, he learned the computer basics, and at the same time, acquired the professional development needed to land a tech role.<\/p>\n Since his time in the program, Lopez has completed an internship and accepted the position of Compliance Risk Management Associate Analyst at Citi.<\/p>\n Lopez was nervous that his window into tech had passed, he noted \u201cI thought I was too late to start but NPower proved otherwise.\u201d He added, \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the opportunity NPower has provided me to set myself up for success.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nIt\u2019s not too late<\/h2>\n
