A number of children had the opportunity to spend a work day with mom or dad as part of national Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® Day. Here are some highlights from our Met-Ed, Pleasants Power Station and Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) events.

Nearly 30 children spent the day learning more about Met-Ed and the electric utility industry. During the morning, the kids received a FirstEnergy career overview, visited the new IT Solution Café and toured the utility pole yard. For the afternoon, they shadowed their parents and visited various departments.

A very happy group!
