Title
Special Recognition of GRU Camp EmPower Students (NB)
Explanation
As part of its succession planning to address an aging workforce, GRU staff developed Camp EmPower, a spring break camp designed to expose middle school-aged students to careers in the utility industry. From March 23th through March 27, 2015, GRU held its 3rd annual camp. Twenty-five (25) students from local schools spent their spring break with GRU staff, learning about a different area of the utility each day. The students were given hands-on experience with different jobs and participated in mock job interviews at the end of the week, followed by graduation.
