WARREN

Ohio Edison, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., is partnering with Kent State University at Trumbull to offer its program to train the next generation of utility line workers.

The Power Systems Institute is a two-year program that combines hands-on utility at an Ohio Edison training facility with the technical coursework at KSU's Trumbull campus.

"Our line workers are really some of the important jobs in our industry," said Randall Frame, regional president of Ohio Edison.
