Nafis joined Hopeworks only 4 months ago, after hearing about the program’s results with so many young professionals attaining high-paying full-time jobs. A recent high school graduate, Nafis has goals of venturing into the tech or web development field and has gained an interest in the IT field during his time here.
He was recently hired as a full-time IT Help Desk Analyst for Vanguard, an Investment Management Company! During his time at Hopeworks, Nafis has learned problem-solving skills, team work and communication which have helped at work and at home with being a leader for his siblings.
“My dream is to make an influence on my family and other young adults who are striving to be successful. I hope they are able to fully find themselves just like I did.”
Congrats, Nafis!
