Sussex County Community College (SCCC) is proud to announce it has received a generous $10,000 grant from the FirstEnergy Foundation. These funds will directly support the College’s Electrical Lineworker Program by providing essential climbing gear for students enrolled in the hands-on training course.
This contribution reflects FirstEnergy Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting workforce development, safety, and education throughout the region. The climbing equipment will enhance training opportunities and ensure students are learning in a safe, realistic environment that mirrors industry standards.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support from the FirstEnergy Foundation,” said SCCC Executive Director Stan Kula. “Their investment in our students not only helps build a strong, skilled workforce, but also shows a true dedication to safety and economic development in our community.”
The Electrical Lineworker Program at SCCC prepares students for essential roles in the utility industry. Graduates are equipped with the knowledge and practical skills needed to enter high-demand careers that are vital to keeping our communities running.
The FirstEnergy Foundation’s grant aligns with its priorities to support key safety initiatives, promote local and regional economic growth, and encourage community leadership and volunteerism that matches FirstEnergy’s mission.
