On Nov 4, 2013 the IEEE SCV Graduates of the Last Decade held their Volunteer Information Evening at LinkedIn which brings in a number of organizations from the local San Francisco Bay Area to talk about their organizations. Each organization is given 5 minutes to present, and after the event they set up a booth in which the attendees can gather more information on, and volunteer with their organizations. These are the slides for nPower.

6. Best Investment Considerations
“The NPower TSC program
provides a pool of great
talent to the technology
industry. Accenture is
proud to have many TSC
alumni employed full-time
in our New York office;
especially with our local
technology support team.
These men and women have consistently
demonstrated ‘can do’ attitudes and continue to grow
both professionally and personally.”
