The comprehensive training program develops the fundamental skills new apprentice mechanics need to work safely on the company’s natural gas distribution system. More than 475 people applied for this year’s program, and the 12 apprentices were selected after a series of interviews and physical assessments.

PECO’s Training department develops the curriculum for the natural gas training program, and seasoned natural gas mechanics instruct and oversee the field work of the trainees.

In addition to field maintenance and repair skills, the program focuses on natural gas fundamentals, quality customer interactions, emergency response, safety, and first aid.
