Youth Tour

50多年来,电力合作社一直赞助一年一度的农村电力青年之旅. 16-18岁的高中生被选中去华盛顿特区旅行.C. to experience a firsthand look at how government works.

参与电力合作社提供领导、历史和乐趣. 青年之旅的参加者花一天的时间在国会山拜访我们的参议员和众议员, 目睹了我们最著名领导人的纪念碑的宏伟, 看着阿灵顿公墓一排排的白色十字架,反思自由的真正代价, 体验乔治·华盛顿心爱的弗农山庄种植园的生活.

 

“农村电力青年之旅是青年参与社区能源生产和消费以及国家层面能源政策的绝佳途径. 很高兴与来自明尼苏达州南部的学生见面,并听取他们对可再生能源的想法,这些想法将在他们的一生中开花结果. I’m inspired by this future generation of leaders, 我希望在华盛顿看到更多的学生作为未来农村电力青年之旅的一部分.”

Governor Tim Walz

For apprentices, 这意味着与为投资者拥有的或市政公用事业公司工作不同的东西——这意味着成为合作商业模式的一部分. Guided by the history of serving a local need, electric cooperatives prioritize community service, education, democratic governance, independence and autonomy.

旨在满足联邦和州劳工部的要求, beat365中文官方网站流水线工人学徒计划为期四年,有可能在1-2年内进行测试. Apprentices get hands-on learning under journeyman supervision. By the end of an apprenticeship, utility personnel are ready to safely construct, operate, and maintain the electric power system.

那些有兴趣从事合作公用事业的人应该有一种冒险精神, passion about their community, and no fear of heights. For more information or to enroll apprentices, contact us.
