The Last Word: Rasheda Walker on NPower Texas’ Tech Fundamentals Program
by Dallas Innovates | Staff Report | Aug 5, 2022
A recent graduate of the NPower Texas Tech Fundamentals program, Walker is a testament to what the nonprofit's free 16-week training course can offer. Before joining the program, Walker was facing the most difficult period of her life. When she saw the organization at a veteran’s job fair, she grabbed the opportunity for its free training and the opportunities it could provide. She ended up getting not only tech instruction, but much-needed social support as well.
