Mississippi’s electric co-ops make a point to educate students in community schools about their mission to provide safe, reliable, and affordable power. Co-ops also like to visit schools to expose students to the different careers in the world of electric cooperatives.
Recently, Singing River Electric Director of Engineering Tom Davis talked all things electricity with a George County High School physics class.
Davis also discussed choosing a career and how Singing River Electric and Singing River Connect employees work together to provide electric and fiber internet service for the betterment of their local communities.
The Electric Cooperatives of Mississippi and the state’s electric co-ops also sponsor The Cooperative Youth Leaders program. The program provides an opportunity for students across the state to learn, grow, and experience. The students learn about the cooperative business model, grow in their leadership qualities, and experience the democratic process at the state and federal levels by visiting the Mississippi and U.S. capital cities.
