It's not specifically a powerlifting program, but it includes all the powerlifting moves, and I started with it: http://stronglifts.com/5x5/

If you're a beginner the difference really isn't going to matter.

It's good because, as opposed to Starting Strength, the material is all free online, it's all one web page with instructional videos, and the guy has mobile apps you can use for free.

Seconding SL 5x5. It starts you light to work on form, and ramps you gently but steadily. I'm lifting weights with good form now that I didn't think I was capable of 3 months ago.

I also really recommend Alan Thrall's form videos on Youtube. Incredibly instructive and thorough.
