AEP expo aimed at careers for military veterans

(Story by Stephen Ostrander)

AEP’s military veterans and other employees have an opportunity to help veterans seeking employment or considering a career change by reminding them about the AEP Career Expo for Military Veterans May 1 at the A. Ray King Transmission Training Center in Pataskala, Ohio.

“Veterans trust and respond to other veterans,” said Trevor Sthultz, an energy coordinator at AEP and co-chair of the AEP military veteran’s employee resource group. “That’s why we especially urge our veterans as well as other AEP employees to use their networks and contacts in their communities to reach veterans who may be interested in learning about careers at AEP.”

The career expo runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (morning and afternoon sessions). Lunch is provided. Participants can register via email at workforce_diversity@aep.com. Please respond by April 24.
