WECA Arizona Class of 2024 Salutatorian Cody Cole, who works for WECA Arizona founding Member Contractor Corbins, says that the WECA Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship Program helped him “build a good foundation with proper skills and knowledge to continue to add onto. During my time at WECA, I was able to apply the knowledge I was learning to on-the-job tasks, which helped me better understand the curriculum being taught.”

Outside of the classroom, Cody says that working in Corbins’ service department helped him be comfortable with many aspects of the electrical industry.

Ultimately, Cody credits his success to multiple factors.

“The largest factors that led to my success within WECA and Corbins was the support and guidance I was given throughout my apprenticeship, and my wife’s support,” says Cody. 

One thing that Cody learned during his apprenticeship that he would like to impart upon fellow apprentices is the importance of navigating the Code, because it will be the most helpful aspect in their careers.

Now that he has graduated, Cody plans to continue working towards his goals and continually improve his knowledge in the electrical field.

Congratulations, Cody, on your graduation and on excelling as the WECA Arizona Class of 2024 Salutatorian! We are excited to see how you continue to build upon the foundation of success and excellence you started here at WECA as you continue to navigate Arizona’s commercial electrical industry!
