Young emphasized the importance of safety, awareness, and respect when working around electricity. Students received insights into the rewards and responsibilities associated with careers in this critical field, according to NEMCC.
As crews continue efforts to restore power across Prentiss County, NEMCC expressed gratitude for Young and the PCEPA team’s dedication. The college praised their long hours and commitment to community safety and power restoration.
In a post on social media, NEMCC acknowledged the work of energy professionals both in the classroom and in the community, thanking them for their service during challenging weather conditions.
