Trust everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend Holiday and your school
year has been off to a good start.****
** **
Our 40+ member/contractors still have a great need for electrician
apprentices. The economy appears to be on a small uptick – FINALLY.
Also, more ****
and more BOOMERS are retiring in our industry. ****
** **
Our apprenticeship program (full-time paid work and part-time tuition- free
schooling) takes five years to turn out a professional electrician. So, if
****
the economy continues to move upward and retirees keep going by the wayside
, you can see the shortage we are about to face.****
** **
If you would like for us to come out to your classroom this school year to
explain what apprenticeship is all about and to let your students know of
this****
technically oriented pathway *(where they earn money the whole time, come
out debt free, and make right at $58,000 as twenty three year-olds)* once
they get out of ****
high school -- just let us know (hit reply or give us a call) and we’ll be
happy to set a date that works for both of us.****
** **
For those of you who may not have seen our presentation, please know that
we put our program in context with ALL OPTIONS/CHOICES THEY HAVE AFTER HIGH
SCHOOL;****
We don’t just selfishly talk about our one program.****
** **
We look forward to helping you help your students with their post-secondary
opportunities…****
