ComEd, HIRE360 Accepting New Applications for Take Charge EV Pre-Apprenticeship Program - Seite 2

As more customers make the switch to EVs for their environmental, health, and savings benefits, keeping pace with the development of EV charging infrastructure will be key. That’s why ComEd continues to make significant investments in the equitable adoption of EVs in northern Illinois, with the latest launch of residential, public and business rebates for EV make-ready infrastructure, chargers, and EV fleets – reserving half of all funds for equity-eligible communities.

“Take Charge opened my eyes to what the future of clean energy and transportation holds, and the part I could play in it,” said Susie Fogle, program graduate who now works in ComEd’s business and customer support department. “I was looking for a career change that aligned with my passion for environmental stewardship, and this program gave me the tools to enter a rewarding career path that is only on the rise.”

The Take Charge: EV Charging Pre-Apprenticeship program is accepting applications from Illinois residents 18 or older who are authorized to work in the United States, have a valid driver's license, possess a GED or high school diploma with a C or better in high school algebra, and with a desire to seek a construction job.

This program is one example of the career training programs ComEd offers in partnership with community-based organizations. As a result of ComEd’s commitment to connecting more diverse, local jobseekers to growing clean energy jobs, more than 3,500 residents benefited from ComEd’s job training and STEM education programs last year.
