ITSPmagazine’s Sean Martin and Selena Templeton chat with Elizabeth Lopez, a graduate of NPower’s advanced Symantec Cyber Career Connection (SC3) program who is now a Security Operations Associate at KPMG.

NPower is a national nonprofit organization that helps launch digital careers for military veterans and young adults from underserved communities by teaching the digital and professional skills demanded by the marketplace. And 80% of NPower students get jobs or continue their education after the program.

So tune in to hear Elizabeth’s story of what motivated her to continue her education, how she discovered NPower, what she learned and the challenges she faced, and where she is now in her career. I hope you enjoy!
