Our electrical apprentices are getting hands-on training in our apprenticeship program, including safely wiring circuits and bending conduit to troubleshooting everyday issues you’d find on an active job site.
Each apprentice is working towards completing this 4-year program and are well on their way to obtaining their Journeyman's license.
We're proud of their progress!
*The electrical apprenticeship program is made possible through a partnership with ABC Institute.*

Many of our young men are looking for just one good role model that encourages them and ignites confidence in their lives. They need to know that they belong, that they’re capable, and they have unlimited potential.
Even an hour or two of your time and dedication each week can make an incredible difference.
Come be the reason a young man learns to believe in himself.
