VETERANS IN POWER

ELECTRIC POWER’s Veterans in Power (VIP) initiative will recognize the employers who have successfully connected, employed, and engaged veterans to become long-term employees in the industry. Employers have been successful through internal corporate programs as well as many public-private partnerships with other organizations, community colleges and universities. Veterans in Power also seeks to offer a forum for veterans to meet, engage in mentoring, and offer career development support.

The Faraday Awards will be presented at ELECTRIC POWER 2016!  Click here to submit a nomination.

The Faraday Awards will recognize and honor the employers, programs and partnerships that have successfully focused on elevating the careers of American veterans in the energy industry.

Nominations for the awards are being accepted now.  Organizations are invited to share stories of success in hiring, training and retaining veterans through an online application. A distinguished review panel and ELECTRIC POWER judged applicants’ programs from across the country to highlight the “best of the best” that'll be recognized and celebrated at the conference in Chicago.

Veterans in Power is partnering with PReP Intl on this initiative for the third year in a row. PReP Intl strives to be the energy industry's premier talent exchange and career development resource for today's Energy Technology revolution through preparing PREQUALIFIED READY EMPLOYEES FOR POWER. Using their extensive global network, PReP Intl connects veterans, energy organizations and companies, institutions of higher learning, professional associations to reduce the risks and costs of recruiting and hiring.
