As part of its ongoing commitment to educate and prepare students for careers in the energy industry, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is hosting 33 local students at a job shadowing event at its Bakersfield Service Center today, February 15, 2017.

 

Students enrolled in the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce's Youth Leadership Bakersfield program will watch a pole-climbing and rescue demonstration in the yard. During the field demonstrations, students will have the opportunity to try on specialized gloves, tool belts, and work with specialized tools in a safe, controlled environment.

 

PG&E employees will give the students an inside look at various career opportunities offered at PG&E and answer questions. 

 

Modeled after the Leadership Bakersfield program, the Youth Leadership Bakersfield program inspires and develops future business and community leadership among high school-aged youth by providing an interactive opportunity that directly links students to community leaders, business issues and career opportunities.
