AEP Texas employees participated the Wylie West Career Day to engage with 60 students and provide a hands-on look at careers in the electric utility industry.
"We try to participate in these events as time permits," Distribution System Manage Nickie Plaisance said. "One is to be able to interact with students and show what the guys in the bucket truck does and what their tools of the trade look like."
Students also learned about career opportunities.
"The other thing is it keeps the AEP Texas name out in the community, our line and servicemen have a great reputation in the communities we serve up here in the Abilene District and these events help us to continue to strengthen those community foundations," Plaisance said.
