“GeneratioNext Propane Pros provides one of the most efficient, effective, rewarding recruitment programs the industry has. When the presentation started, the CDL students had never considered the propane industry. After educating them on how their CDL can be used to deliver or transport propane, they were excited to start a career in our industry. By participating in the presentation, I was able to let them know about specific job opportunities at Northwest Propane. Following the presentations, several students reached out inquiring about our open positions and Michelle sent along qualified candidates. I would encourage every propane company to take advantage of GeneratioNext Propane Pros.”

I had the privilege and opportunity to speak to students who recently earned their CDLs through the Sage Truck Driving School in Dallas thanks to the GeneratioNext Propane Pros program. I have not been with the propane industry as long as my colleagues have but it doesn’t take much to recognize that propane is on the rise and demand is continuing to increase every single day. In turn, this means more job openings, more people needed – enter, GeneratioNext Propane Pros. During my part of the presentation, the students were respectful and ended up having quite a few questions towards the end. By far, this was better than any job or career fair I could have gone to. I think this program is exactly what our industry needs to fill those gaps in the application and hiring process and every company, big or small, should take part in this advantageous program.

“I recently had the pleasure of participating in a Zoom presentation with Michelle Wilson at the South Texas Vocational Technical Institute. It’s refreshing to see companies like hers being proactive in recruiting talent straight out of school, rather than relying solely on traditional hiring platforms. Educating individuals about the propane industry and showcasing its potential as a rewarding career path is invaluable for the long-term success of our field. As an owner of a propane company, I was able to provide insights into job-specific aspects and also contribute to the engaging question and answer session. This initiative is a fantastic tool that will undoubtedly benefit our industry in the future.”

I had the opportunity to recently join Michelle Wilson for a virtual presentation promoting GeneratioNext Propane Pros program. This was a very well-organized opportunity to meet and introduce the next generation of potential propane technicians and CDL drivers to our industry. Under Michelle’s guidance, the presentation was very informative, the class and instructors asked probing questions which allowed Michelle and I to explain in greater detail why a career in the propane industry would provide upwardly mobile opportunities with competitive wage and strong benefit packages.

I am a fan of GeneratioNext Propane Pros and would hope that other marketers would join the effort.

Partnering with GeneratioNext Propane Pros proves to be a unique experience which bridges the gap between new CDL drivers and the propane industry. Their ability to focus on niche groups of people, such as CDL students and graduates, is essential so that people can not only find a job, but set themselves up for a life-long career in propane. It also allows for companies to fill roles with top talent. This may not otherwise be possible without the collaboration services provided by GeneratioNext Propane Pros to educate, raise, awareness, and feature companies in the industry on a rotating basis.

Recently, I had the honor of participating in a presentation promoting the propane business by the OPGA to the Southern Ohio Technical Institute HVAC class. This was my first experience with an opportunity like this and it blew me away why it took me so long to get involved. This was a fantastic experience, and I was very grateful for the opportunity to promote, not only the propane business, but also AmeriGas as the leader in the propane industry to the class of HVAC students. I look forward to more opportunities to come!

Michelle Wilson of GeneratioNext Propane Pros graciously reached out to us to explain a little about our company and propane careers to Piedmont Virginia Community College Shipper’s Choice CDL students. We appreciate her agency’s proactiveness and were grateful to have her facilitate relationships with local CDL drivers. Michelle gave a great overview of the propane industry in the U.S. She does such a great job of educating future job seekers about the industry and numerous careers paths. The students were interacting and we feel it was a very fruitful conversation. We’re looking forward to collaborating again!

I was grateful for the opportunity to meet with future CDL drivers and share the many job opportunities at AmeriGas and within the propane industry. This experience allowed each participant the space to ask questions and understand more about propane. I look forward to working with Michelle in the future and helping students to see the many opportunities within the industry!

I feel very fortunate to have the chance to be a part of the classroom presentation with GeneratioNext Propane Pros. The presentation was informative and professional, and Michelle was well-versed in propane careers. I felt glad to be included in the discussion and have the opportunity to speak with the next generation of employees about the opportunities available to them in the propane field. This is a worthwhile endeavor, and I look forward to participating in future presentations.

The outreach sessions GeneratioNext Propane Pros conducts are critical to our industry. I joined Michelle for a speaking engagement with a local CDL school and saw the impact firsthand. Many students who had little to no knowledge about the career opportunities in the propane industry left with valuable information and new excitement for propane careers. The program provides qualified candidates for propane companies, solving one of our industry’s biggest challenges.
