Toledo Edison, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., has hired
19 graduates of the companies’ utility worker training

reliability for customers in northwest Ohio.
The new line workers represent the first graduating class

reinstituted by FirstEnergy at Owens Community College in
Perrysburg, Ohio.
“The PSI program is an effective pipeline for adding
well-trained, highly skilled employees to our workforce,”
said Rich Sweeney, regional president of Toledo Edison. “The
rigorous class work and experience gained in the field by
working with veteran line and substation personnel helps
ensure our ability to maintain safe and reliable electric
service for our customers.”

PSI is an award-winning, two-year educational program
originally developed by FirstEnergy in 2000 to help prepare
the company’s next generation of utility line and substation
workers.
PSI students split time between classes at Owens Community
College and Toledo Edison training facilities. Since the
program’s inception, FirstEnergy has hired nearly 1,500 line
and substation personnel who completed PSI programs in
Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
