Brandon Drew Employee Spotlight

WECA is pleased to introduce you to Brandon Drew, our Apprenticeship Workforce Development Recruiter and Outreach Specialist.

Brandon, who is based at WECA’s California headquarters in Sacramento/Rancho Cordova, is a Sacramento native and a graduate of Sacramento State. He previously worked as a regional recruiter in the security industry and was drawn to WECA because of the heavy emphasis on recruitment and outreach.

“I take pride in supporting the community, and this role allows me to connect with many people from different communities and backgrounds,” says Brandon.

Brandon’s role at WECA is multifaceted and dynamic. He is often out in the field, attending career fairs and speaking at schools to educate students on the benefits of WECA’s apprenticeship programs. When back in the office, Brandon proctors apprenticeship intake tests and hosts orientation sessions for accepted apprenticeship applicants.

“I like the work environment at WECA, visiting people in the community, and the support that I receive from WECA’s Workforce Development team. The confidence and support my team provide helps me daily and lets me know we are all working toward the same goal,” says Brandon.

When not hard at work reaching out to and educating future apprentices about WECA’s apprenticeship programs, Brandon’s mantra is “soccer is my life”.

Aside from watching games “religiously”, Brandon enjoys watching his daughter play competitively for Placer United. And, when his daughter is not playing, Brandon plays soccer on Sundays in an adult league.

Brandon is a great asset to WECA’s Workforce Development team. His enthusiasm for performing outreach and championing WECA’s apprenticeship programs shines through in everything he does. We look forward to seeing him continue to excel in his role!
