Testimonials

"I wasn't sure what career path I wanted when I joined FirstEnergy. To learn about the company, I worked in Supply Chain and Information Technology. Through these experiences, I met a lot of people and worked on a variety of projects - which helped me prepare for my current role as a manager in the Finance Group." Manager, Finance		"I began my career as a Meter Reader, and soon decided to become a line worker. At a local college, I attended FirstEnergy's Power Systems Institute, a two-year program that trains line and substation employees. After graduating with my associates degree, I became a lineman. I've just been promoted to journeyman, and I hope to become a Line Leader. I'm getting ahead alot faster than I ever imagined." Energy Delivery Line Worker

"There isn't a wall at FE between a co-op or a new employee and management. I think that management is open to new ideas and that they are looking for someone who will think outside of the box and ask questions." Supply Chain Analyst		"Coming out of school, I never thought that first off I'd get involved in a major project. Plus, I got the opportunity to personally meet the President and CEO of the Company. I'm sure that doesn't happen at many Fortune 200 companies" Dispatcher

"Through our community support activities, I learned how rewarding it is to help people. And I'm now involved in a United Way fundraiser." Energy Delivery Line Worker		"An important aspect is that interns really do something here. Being an intern here isn't about pushing paper. It's work that will actually get used." Business Analyst

"After I graduated, I knew that I wanted to further my education. So it was important that I worked close to accredited colleges and universities. FirstEnergy has both smaller and larger schools available in its area." Energy Delivery Engineer		"I feel like I can really achieve my career goals here." Power Plant Operator
