IGS Energy

We took time this week to celebrate the nine students (and their mentors) who made up our 2023-2024 co-op student cohort. 🎉 For the last several months, these students — who joined IGS Energy from The Columbus Promise, Columbus State Community College's IT Flexible Apprenticeship program, and South-Western Career Academy — shared their skills, insights, and innovative spirit with areas across the business. “We’re so grateful to this group of remarkable students for trusting IGS over the last year, and for growing and learning with us,” said Lindsay LaSala, talent relationship partner. “This first co-op student group set the bar high.” We asked the group to share their top moments from their year — here are some highlights: “Definitely the Solar Olympics.” — Marvin Dee, who won the event’s pipe bending competition “Knowing that I could look forward to work every week.” — Ulizes Ruiz Rodea, who was applauded out for going above and beyond when the team volunteered at Mid-Ohio Food Collective “Getting to see an actual rooftop solar installation for the first time.” — Kwabena Owusu Ansah (Kobby), who also attended his first soccer and hockey games with IGS mentor Tom Roberts. “It’s hard to pinpoint one single memory, because this whole experience has been an honor.” — Meklet Kassa, who’s joining us again this year, along with Marvin, Kobby, John Wharton Jr, and Zane Palino. To Marvin, Ulizes, Kobby, Meklet, John, Zane, Zachary Haji, Hussein Yussuf, and Hoda Mohamed: Thank you for your hard work this year! A special shout-out goes to Hoda, who’s joining IGS full-time as a software engineer. 🌟 And thank you to the champions, mentors, and curriculum builders who supported our students this year: Adam Luck, CISM CISSP, Robert Schmidt, Alissa Durbin, Jason Marhover, Barb Dodge, Ron Waterman, Chris Rengstorf, Jason Richards, MBA, Andy Etling, Michael Day, Colleen Magee, Derek Baumann, Chris Hatfield, Dana Mikita, and Neha Sharma.

We’re a week out from IGS Energy’s annual Day of Service! 💚 Day of Service is an incredible opportunity for IGS-ers to get out of the office, foster relationships with teammates from across the organization, and support our communities. Here’s a look back at last year's event: https://bit.ly/3Jq8CMy Curious where we’ll be on April 25?

Our partner IMPACT Community Action is helping young people explore careers in the clean energy industry through its Empowered! program. And we’re here for it. ⚡ The current Empowered! cohort visited our Ecohouse Solar facility to learn what a thriving career in solar can look like. Students had the opportunity to ask questions, tour the facility and spend time on our training roof. Impact Community Action is a recipient of IGS’s Clean Energy for Everyone grant, which launched in 2021. Through this partnership, we hope to increase access to energy education for today’s young people and create job mobility through careers in the clean energy sector.
