JA NEPA has been featured on Well Said multiple times because of Careers in Energy, a program Cabot and many of its partners are proud to partner on because it teaches students about different types of energy, the economic and environmental impact of each, and careers in the industry and related fields.
[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Recently, Cabot joined another leading Marcellus E&P company Southwestern Energy as sponsors of JA NEPA’s 27th Annual Business Hall of Fame which honors individuals, regional entrepreneurs, and outstanding JA NEPA sponsors for their hard work and dedication to the missions of JA NEPA: financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]The Hall of Fame event is paramount to the success of JA NEPA since it helps fund all of its programs throughout the region. While this year’s fundraising total is still being calculated, conservative estimates put the funds raised over 20% higher than last year, making this the most successful event to date.
