“For the past three years, Piedmont Natural Gas has participated in the Mayor’s Youth Employment Program. Each summer we’ve had the opportunity to put promising students to work in various areas of our business, and they continuously exceed our expectations. Students have worked in areas ranging from Operations to Information Services, and in each instance, we’ve learned as much from the students as they’ve learned from us. We’re always extremely impressed with the meaningful contributions they make to our organization.”
