Since 2007, CA Technologies has partnered with NPower to support the organization’s Technology Service Corps, which enables young adults and veterans to pursue STEM focused careers by providing free professional skills training and internships. Every single individual who gets a job upon graduation from the program is estimated to add $1 million in value to society over the course of their lifetime.

In addition to joining the Board Directors, Mike will be honored for CA Technologies commitment to advancing STEM learning at NPower’s 2013 Gala, An Evening of Powerful Connections, on Thursday, October 3 in New York City.

Through our partnership with NPower we hope to help level the playing field and make sure that young adults and veterans have the opportunity and tools they need to succeed in the rapidly changing IT marketplace.”
