To help prepare students for successful engineering or line worker careers, Alabama Power developed LEAP (Linemen, Engineers and Apprentice Programs), which connects Alabama Power and Southern Company employees with high school students to give them important information. Targeting those who aren’t sure which direction to take after graduation, LEAP exposes students to the energy industry by providing an understanding of the company and career opportunities. LEAP mentors share their career experiences, education and training needed prior to applying, tips for job interviews and more. For more information, contact Alabama Power.

Remember: We would be far less concerned about what others think of us if we only realized how seldom they do. (Copied from Zane Smith)

I pray that this year will bring blessings, good health, peace and joy. Please call 205-338-5590 or send information to annette_snow@yahoo.com.
