the company’s electric distribution system. More than 800 people
applied for this year’s program.
“Our graduates have my deepest congratulations,” said Craig

work. But the training these individuals received – from some of
the best in the industry – has them well positioned to safely and
successfully work on our advanced electrical system and meet the
needs of our customers and the communities we serve.”
Conducted at the company’s Plymouth Training Complex located in
Plymouth Meeting, PA, this innovative training complex includes
