Part of the VenangoREADY Program is focused on connecting employers and educators. We want to share opportunities to help students prepare for future careers. Below are opportunities from our members for students:

Central Electric Cooperative: Youth Tour
CEC and other co-ops around the country have participated in sending students to Washington D.C. to visit historical sites, meet with representatives, and learn about the political process. While the program has been on hold for the last couple of years, it will return in June 2023. Youth Tour is an opportunity for students to attend an all-expenses paid, weeklong trip. The application process is currently open for high school juniors receiving electricity from CEC.

For more information on the application process, CLICK HERE or go to central.coop/youth-tour.

Drake Well: Discovery School Tours
At Drake Well in Titusville, students in grades K-12 can discover the birthplace of the modern petroleum industry through guided, hands-on tours.  Follow the link for more information: Discovery School Tours
