Pennsylvania General Energy Company (PGE) recently donated a sizable load of scrap metal for the students of the welding program at Warren County Career Center.

PGE was contacted by a student of the welding program with a request for any scrap metal that could be of use as learning material to the program. The Corporate Giving Committee at PGE saw the request and worked with Nate McNett, the student adviser of the welding program, to make the donation happen.

PGE employees gathered and trucked a load of scrap metal from numerous project sites throughout northern Pennsylvania along with additional donations of welding rods and wire from Pennsylvania School of Technology in Williamsport and delivered it to the Career Center. The welding program students were ready and prepared in their steel-toe boots to unload and help carry their newly-donated supply off the truck.
