comprehensive training program
PECO welcomed 12 new apprentice mechanics to the company’s field
force yesterday as they celebrated their graduation from a
comprehensive natural gas training program. Natural gas school
instructors and members of PECO leadership came together to
congratulate the company’s newest field employees on this
significant professional accomplishment. The new apprentices will
join the utility’s front lines – helping to ensure safe and
reliable natural gas service for more than 516,000 area
customers.
“The training our new apprentice mechanics received from our
skilled instructors through this program provides the essential
foundation for their careers at PECO,” said Ron Bradley, vice
president of Gas Operations. “Our field employees play a critical
role in our mission to deliver safe and reliable natural gas to our
customers and I’m proud to welcome them to the organization.”
PECO’s training program develops the fundamental skills new
apprentice mechanics need to work safely on the company’s natural
gas distribution system. More than 475 people applied for this
year’s program. The current 12 apprentices were selected after a

natural gas training program and seasoned natural gas mechanics
instruct and oversee the field work of the trainees. In addition to
field maintenance and repair skills, the program focuses on natural
gas fundamentals, quality customer interactions, emergency
response, safety and first aid.
