BWL is a diverse, multicultural environment, and it’s a good working environment with so much to do. I’ve volunteered at diversity events that give me the opportunity to present myself and my culture. It’s very inspiring. It’s open and encouraging all the time to do something new.

I started at BWL through 1st S.T.E.P. I liked that not only are you getting a paid internship, but you’re also getting experience, your foot in the door to be hired in a fulltime job with benefits, people are familiar with you and you get a scholarship at the end.

There are so many different functions, job opportunities and skill sets required to maintain a public utility. It’s a highly regulated industry. There are traditional, professional and field service roles, such as line workers, accountants and chemists. There’s so much opportunity with the variety of skill sets and positions.
