GRAND VALLEY POWER ú EMPOWERING LIVES WITH HOMETOWN SERVICE FEBRUARY 2018
The Value of Co-op Careers
by Tom Walch | Chief Executive Officer
Over the next several years, our country
will see a major shift in the professional landscape.
Many businesses are already noticing this
change as the Baby Boomer Generation moves
into retirement and their children and grandchildren,
members of the Millennial Generation,
begin to move into the workforce and advance in
their careers.
The Millennial Generation is the largest
population of adults to move into the workforce
since the Baby Boomer generation. They are
highly educated and, after weathering a recession
during or immediately after trying to break
into the workforce, they are motivated to gain
work experience that can turn into a meaningful
and rewarding career.
Driven by values and attracted to a company’s
strong mission and culture over salary
and compensation, Millennials are uniquely suited
for careers at their local electric cooperative.
Grand Valley Power’s dedication to our community
and our focus on people, not profits, make it
an ideal work environment for individuals seeking
to develop meaningful careers.
We need people who will help us to do
this while ensuring that we remain true to our
mission: providing safe, reliable and affordable
electric service, improving the quality of life for
our members.
Whether you’re ready to start your career
or make a career change, take a closer look at
electric cooperatives – we’re located in 47
states, and of course, we’re right here at home.
Building and strengthening our community has
always been our top priority. Building the next
generation of employees is critical to maintaining
the success of our mission and our business
model.
