Strengthening Education
PPL takes seriously its responsibility to be a good corporate citizen. Building education partnerships is one of the ways the corporation makes a difference.
PPL develops education programs on a simple principle: It’s our corporate responsibility to help today’s students better understand their world and the future of energy and the environment.
We help educators to gain the knowledge, confidence and resources to address energy and environmental subjects with their students. We also work with students to teach them how to be safe around electrical components and to help them prepare to enter the job market.
Today, with all the energy choices and options facing us, it is more important than ever that students and teachers are accurately informed about energy needs, energy realities, energy alternatives, energy conservation and energy-producing industries. Of critical importance to PPL is reaching educators to provide them with the knowledge, resources and confidence to address critical energy issues.
Additional resources for educators:
PPL's Environmental Preserves are impressive backdrops to many of our environmental and energy education programs. PPL prides itself on being a conscientious steward of the environment. PPL's mission of being "good stewards of the land entrusted to us" is never more realized than at one of our Environmental Preserves.
Employee Volunteerism - Partners in Education
Partners in Education (PIE) is the name of our Community of Volunteers initiative that encourages employees to volunteer in educational communities. Our employees work side-by-side with and under the guidance of professional educators to make sure their time is used in the most effective ways.
Workforce Development
As a society, it's essential that our systems of education provide graduates with the academic, technical and life skills needed to enter the workforce in a seamless way (minimum training and with a high degree of integrity).
PPL professionals work with educators and other corporate leaders to improve workforce readiness in the communities where we do business. |
