Over the last month, REC has attended and supported a number of career day events at local schools and technical centers. 

Chad Foster, First Class Serviceman, and Landen Jones, System Inspector, attended the Northern Neck Technical Center’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Day. Foster and Jones spoke with students about their careers in the electric utility industry, highlighting the trades of line work and electricians.

Blaine Swann, First Class Serviceman, and Harold Billups, Member Service Field Representative, attended the King William Career Day, sharing valuable information with high school and middle school students about the different career opportunities at REC.

Swann and Jones attended the Essex County High School CTE Night to speak with students about the careers at REC and how they each became involved with their respective trade.

REC recognizes that career events like these are important since they provide exposure to various professions and help students make informed decisions as they navigate towards post-school life.
