Empowering future leaders
05/07/2025
On May 7, 2025, Entergy New Orleans team members participated in an 8th Grade Career Day at Fannie C. Williams Charter School. This meaningful event provided students with a firsthand look into the utility sector and the diverse professional opportunities that it offers.
During the session, Entergy linemen shared their unique career journeys and the vital roles they play in powering communities. They highlighted the wide range of career paths available within the utility sector - from engineering to operations to customer service and community engagement - and explained how these roles contribute to maintaining safe, reliable energy service.
The linemen also introduced students to the importance of innovation and sustainability in the energy field. In addition, they shared tips on workplace readiness and encouraged students to start thinking critically about their own goals and the paths to reach them.
“Our goal was to connect with the students in a real and honest way while introducing them to the energy sector,” said Norris Williams, line superintendent at Entergy New Orleans. “We wanted them to see that success comes with perseverance, preparation, and passion—and that there’s a place for them in the energy industry.”
The event was more than just a career talk—it was an investment in the future leaders of our community. At Entergy New Orleans, we are committed to empowering our youth through education, mentorship, and meaningful engagement.
