“Words from Timothy”
Thanks to the Power4vets program for enabling me to find employment back home after my transition from the Navy. I went from being vaguely familiar with the civilian power industry to becoming NERC certified in three months thanks to this program. I wish all the future members of the program well, and if anyone needs any assistance from me, please feel free to reach out. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a career in the utility industry as a System Operator.
