Shelby Bell
Executive Director, PA Propane Gas Association
"I may be biased, however, I believe GeneratioNext Propane Pros is the top Workforce Recruitment Program currently developed in the industry. In less than a year, our program in Pennsylvania has built a database of nearly 200 applicants seeking propane career opportunities. Several propane marketers have hiring success stories with more connecting with prospective employees every day."
Ciara Littlejohn
Recruiter, Heller’s Gas, Inc.
“Recently our team had the opportunity to visit the Schuylkill Technology Center on behalf of GeneratioNext Propane Pros. We met with CDL and HVAC students to talk about the exciting changes in our industry as well as to discuss what makes Heller’s Gas unique. GeneratioNext Propane Pros explained the history and evolving future of the propane industry and allowed our Director of Delivery Operations to present his story of starting as a yard technician and working his way up into his current position. This helped to showcase how there are always many growth opportunities within the propane industry. It was truly a wonderful experience to get to make connections with students and prospective employees. We are very thankful for the chance to share our story and successes, and GeneratioNext Propane Pros made that all possible.”

"If you own or manage a propane company in Pennsylvania, don’t miss out on working with GeneratioNext Propane Pros! I recently joined them in presenting at a local technical school. It was an easy way to get in front of future hires and help them make the first step in connecting with our industry. Many did not know about the rewarding career that was awaiting them but were eager to explore the possibilities."
Kevin Pulli
Heating, Ventilation, Refrigeration & Plumbing Instructor. Career Institute of Technology
"GeneratioNext Propane Pros came to speak at our school recently and it was a great experience for our students. Students were able to learn about the propane industry, how their classroom training could be applied to various propane jobs, and what the propane industry has to offer for career opportunities. Not only did my students get to learn about a future career path, they actually got to meet a potential employer. The presentation gave them insight on opportunities that are out there for them after graduation."
Kevin Keeler
Lehigh Career & Technical Institute
"When the team from GeneratioNext Propane Pros came to speak at our school, I was unaware of how much the propane industry had to offer our students. Now we, students and faculty, know more about the viable job opportunities there are right here in our community. My students also took advantage of the GeneratioNext website, and successfully set up an account. The website allows them to connect with local propane marketers is an invaluable tool for our technical students. The platform is easy to use and helps students create real-world connections with potential employers. "
Zac Cromie
General Manager - Propane, Smith Propane & Oil
"Last month I had the pleasure of meeting with CDL and HVAC students at Western Pennsylvania’s Central Westmoreland Career and Technology Center on behalf of GenerationNext Propane Pros. It was by far the most rewarding recruiting experience I’ve had as a manager. I was afforded time not just to speak about Smith Propane & Oil, but about our industry. During the presentation, we were able to dispel a lot of negative myths while introducing a new cohort of potential employees to what is great about propane. It wasn’t just about interacting with students and making connections with administrators though, I walked out of CWC&TC with great job applicants, too. Every manager in the industry should be invested in the success of this program, because it is invested in our success."
