"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."

"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."
Rory Greenley
Fuel Manager, Ace-Robbins, Inc.
"GeneratioNext Propane Pros offers a unique opportunity for propane marketers in PA. It gives us the chance to connect with local candidates that are seeking jobs in our specific industry. It is a tool that we’ve needed for a while."
