Apr 9, 2018

When it comes to supporting workforce education, Lee County Electric Cooperative (LCEC) took it a step further by pledging $25,000 to Florida SouthWestern State College’s (FSW) School of Business and Technology over the course of the next five years.

“This gift will help us continue providing the workforce education so our students can become the professionals our southwest Florida region needs,” said Susie DeSantis, executive director, FSW Foundation. “We will use this generous gift to provide materials for several areas of study, including crime scene tech labs, and construction and engineering materials.”

LCEC supports education through involvement and financial support of local initiatives in order to strengthen the workforce pipeline.

“Mentoring students, serving in leadership roles, and offering internships are just a few of the ways we become part of the solution for a sustainable future,” said CEO Dennie Hamilton. “We are excited about how our partnership with FSW has developed over the years and we look forward to the impact we can make for business and technology students.”

In recognition for LCEC’s support, the company has a five-year naming of the welcome lounge of FSW’s School of Business and Technology on the second floor of Building K on the Fort Myers campus.
