The City of St. Petersburg recently declared July 18 'Duke Energy Day' in recognition of 125 years of utility service in Florida. Headquartered in the heart of historic downtown, Duke Energy Florida and its legacy companies are nearly as old as the city of St. Petersburg, which had about 300 residents when Frank Allston Davis introduced wood-powered electricity. Today, we supply power to 2 million customers in 35 counties across the state. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we honor our rich history in the Sunshine State and look forward to a bright future. Read More: http://spr.ly/6045iWveV

Today, we welcomed nearly 50 Johnson C. Smith University - JCSU students to our Charlotte, N.C., headquarters to learn about the company and the numerous career opportunities that Duke Energy offers. Employees from finance, marketing and information technology shared stories with the students about their professional journeys that led them to Duke Energy, and experiences working in the utility industry. Students went on to ask about work-life balance, the state of renewable energy and how best to prepare themselves as they enter the workforce. When asked about the most rewarding part of his job, Duke Energy intern Kwesi Kyei-Fordjour (pictured, red shirt), spoke to being valued by his team as a contributor to our mission. “It’s rewarding to know that, as an intern, I’m not just doing busy work,” said Kyei-Fordjour. “This is my second rotation [as a Duke Energy intern]. I’ve earned my trust with the team, and they’re assigning me to things that are truly important to the company.” We at Duke Energy are honored to host such a great group of inquisitive students and can’t wait to see the contributions they’ll bring to our communities as the next generation of young professionals.
