Npower Michigan is turning new business into a few new hires at its headquarters in the Youthville building in New Center.
The non-profit spun out of Microsoft performs tech assessments for other non-profits. The idea is to find inexpensive ways so these community organizations can work more efficiently. Npower Michigan is sort of the Great Lakes State chapter of the larger Npower non-profit.
Npower Michigan is set to do 114 technology assessments in the later half of this year. That's three times as many assessments it did for Michigan non-profits in 2008 fiscal year.
That bump in work allowed the non-profit to add an employee this summer, increasing its staff to four. Management is now looking at hiring more people this spring.
"A lot of that is because of the work we're doing in various communities across the state," says Andy Wolber, executive director of Npower Michigan.
