‘Vets Power Us’ Program Seeks to Bridge Military to Co-op Service
Effort helps veterans find potential career paths with electric cooperatives
North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives support the national Vets Power Us program, aimed at employing and honoring veterans, active military, and their spouses.
This effort helps veterans understand potential career paths with electric co-ops and in turn, provides co-ops with best practices in attracting, onboarding, and retaining veterans.
“The military and electric cooperatives are connected by the common overarching values of service and a commitment to community,” said Charlies Bayless, U.S. Air Force veteran and incoming general counsel for North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives (see page 6).
Veterans interested in finding a co-op job can start their search, or find more energy industry jobs through the Center for Energy Workforce Development’s Troops to Energy Jobs Initiative.
