These middle school students, all part of TRIO ETS, got a behind-the-scenes look at careers in the energy and utility sector — learning from professionals, exploring facilities, and discovering new pathways for their futures.

As we reflect on our school year, serving 1,200 TRIO eligible ETS students in grades 6 through 12 across NH: students of modest income, and students who will be the first in their families to go to college, we are proud of every single one of you!

We are especially proud of our 147 TRIO ETS seniors that are going onto college this year. We can’t wait to see what you all do, but no matter what, we will always be proud of you.
