The Power4Vets
program was approved and launched in February
of 2011, with the objective to recruit and train military
veterans to become the next generation of power grid operators.
The program has been progressing forward with great success and a
number of veterans have landed jobs in the industry and received
their NERC RC Certification.
We are extremely proud to announce that as of
year-end 2012 over 104
Power4Vets students were working for 35+ different companies
all across the country. Also, 31 out of 31 students who had taken
their NERC
RC Certification (100% pass rate) had passed.
These numbers have continued to rise in January 2013.
We want to express our sincere gratitude to the
many companies who have partnered with us in 2012 by hiring
Power4Vets students and grads.
We also want to thank and recognize the hard work
of the many veterans who completed the program in 2012 and for
the hundreds more who are still working hard to complete their
training in 2013.
