Vets Power Us

With more than 40% of veterans hailing from rural communities and a heightened challenge of attracting and retaining a new workforce due to a retirement wave and changing technology facing America’s electric cooperatives, facilitating the connection between job-seeking veterans and electric cooperative career opportunities is a win-win endeavor.

 

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's (NRECA) "Vets Power Us" initiative was developed to support veterans, active military and their spouses by:

  • Helping veterans find meaningful career opportunities within America’s electric cooperatives.

  • Helping co-ops recruit, hire and honor veterans.

 

Through this program, co-ops have access to practical resources that will help them successfully recruit veterans and veterans have direct access to electric co-op career opportunities.

 

At NIPCO, #VetsPowerUs. We are proud to have several employees who have served our country.

 

For more information on our participation in the Vets Power Us program or for a list of available career opportunities with NIPCO, please contact us.
