Concluding its fourth year, the Mentorship Academy continues to serve high school juniors and seniors from underserved rural and urban communities in western Pennsylvania.
The Academy, founded in 2021 by CNX Resources CEO Nick Deiuliis, introduces students to well-compensated, family-sustaining career paths that do not require a four-year college degree.
The 2024-2025 class saw impressive growth, increasing by 44% from the previous year, with 122 students enrolled. Participating students engaged in hands-on activities, site visits with partner companies, received personal and professional coaching from mentors, and gained exposure to career opportunities in energy, manufacturing, healthcare, building trades, and more.

The Academy is made possible by an expanding network of regional partners, including major employers, organized labor groups, and community-focused nonprofits.
Throughout the year, students participated in events like “Intro to Energy Day,” where they explored emerging fields such as artificial intelligence in natural gas development, as well as gained practical skills like resume writing, interview preparation, and professional networking.
CNX is grateful to the many partners, mentors, and volunteers that facilitate the Academy’s Tangible, Impactful, and Local approach to workforce development.
