Globant, a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, announced it is growing its existing partnership with NPower, one of the country’s largest nonprofits providing free tech training and job placement for military veterans and young adults from underserved communities. As part of the growing strategic partnership, Globant will provide NPower with financial support, advisory services, and experienced volunteers over the next two years.
Globant began its support of NPower in 2020 by providing military veterans and their spouses with funding for hands-on technology training from Globant volunteers in Dallas and New York City, designed to support them as they transitioned to civilian careers, which has since expanded to multiple markets nationwide.
“NPower’s mission to create pathways to economic prosperity for military veterans and young adults from underserved communities is well-aligned with Globant’s purpose-driven ‘Be Kind to Humanity’ initiative, a commitment from all Globers to make a positive impact on society and empower people through technology,” said Patricia Pomies, Chief Operating Officer at Globant. “We look forward to positively impacting the approximately 1,500 individuals NPower serves annually nationwide by helping provide skills training, real-world experience, support, and mentorship related to technology fundamentals, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and more.”
“Increasing equity in the technology industry is essential to building more inclusive workplaces, communities, and solutions. The help that our partners like Globant provide is vital to ensuring we can make continuous progress towards this goal,” said Bertina Ceccarelli, Chief Executive Officer at NPower. “Globant’s proven ability to master technological innovation at a rapid pace makes them a perfect partner for NPower, and we are excited to help each other and our broader communities grow.”
