South Central Power is proud to employ veterans
Hard work. Teamwork. A spirit of cooperation, and a “get it done” attitude. Many of our nation’s veterans possess these qualities — it’s what made them great at serving their country, and it’s also what makes them great members of the workforce. South Central Power is proud to employ veterans and active guard members in roles across the organization, from accounting to the line crews to our new fiber internet business, connectSCP.
In 2024, Army veteran Amanda Englehart joined the connectSCP customer service team, and is a point of contact for both residents and the workers who install the fiber line to their homes. “I was in the Army for almost 10 years and you learn to appreciate working with all kinds of people and develop problem-solving skills,” she says. “Sometimes transitioning from military to civilian work can be tough, but I appreciate being able to work alongside so many people who understand what we have been through. South Central and connectSCP acknowledge the sacrifices that veterans have made and allow us to use our experience to make meaningful contributions to our communities.”
