Over the summer, the group is exploring utility careers and getting hands-on experience in various PSEG Long Island departments, including distribution operations, overhead and underground construction, cybersecurity, finance and accounting, customer operations, customer experience, real estate, human resources and several engineering groups.

"My internship in the customer advocacy department is not specifically related to my field of study, accounting. However, it is allowing me to learn how PSEG Long Island helps its customers who face financial hardship," Amaya-Reyes said . "I have participated in several community events and am grateful for these opportunities that are providing learning experiences for me."
