WECA recently attended the SkillsUSA California State Leadership and Skills Conference at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, CA, to lead the judging of the electrical construction wiring competition.

SkillsUSA plays a vital role in bridging the skills gap by preparing students for successful careers in essential trades and technical fields. This competition event helps students hone their skills and abilities and provides a platform for them to demonstrate their abilities.

WECA Apprenticeship Curriculum Developer and Instructor Neil Pesarillo served as the head judge of the electrical wiring competition, while WECA Director of Apprenticeship Training and Facilities John Berkhoel and WECA Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship instructor Sebastian Caparelli were also on hand to support and judge the Electrical Station.

"The event was high-energy and impressive, as competitors demonstrated their knowledge and skills in electrical construction wiring," said John.

WECA's always thrilled to help out at the SkillsUSA California State Leadership and support youth workforce development at every opportunity!
