Celebrating the WECA Northern California Graduation
WECA held its Northern California Class of 2024 graduation on Saturday, October 5th at the Sacramento Zoo in Sacramento, CA.
The 363 attendees, notably graduates from WECA's Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship, Residential Electrical Apprenticeship, Low Voltage Apprenticeship, and Electrician Trainee Certificate programs, as well as their families, friends, and contractors, celebrated the graduates' hard work and accomplishments amongst the animals, on the zoo's Reptile House lawn. After three to five years of intensive training in the classroom and on-the-job for Apprentices, and four years for Electrician Trainees, the graduates deserved to be feted!
Wendy Flanagan, WECA's Assistant Director of Apprenticeship, did an excellent job (as always) of coordinating and co-hosting the graduation ceremony. Wendy says, "Thank you to everyone for making this such a special day for our graduates! There were so many kind words and comments from our graduates, their loved ones, and our special guests. It was definitely a hot day, but the food and company were great, and the drinks were cold!"
WECA thanks the Sacramento Zoo for helping us host such a unique celebration, and appreciates the continued generosity of our sponsors, gift donors, and industry supporters, who help make our graduations memorable for our graduates and their families.
WECA additionally thanks special guests -- such as Hershel Baser, Jr. of the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards and Raymond Carrillo of the United States Department of Labor -- for attending the graduation.
WECA congratulates our 2024 Northern California graduates, whose future contributions to the electrical and low voltage industries we will enjoy celebrating for years to come!

Celebrating the WECA Southern California Graduation
WECA held its Southern California Class of 2024 graduation on Saturday, September 28th at the Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula, CA.
In attendance were 245 graduates from WECA's Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship, Residential Electrical Apprenticeship, Low Voltage Apprenticeship, and Electrician Trainee Certificate programs, and their families, friends, and contractors. The fete was held on the inn's patio as well as in the inn's ballroom. After three to five years of intensive training in the classroom and on-the-job for Apprentices, and four years for Electrician Trainees, we were excited to finally celebrate their hard work and accomplishments at the beautiful inn, with great weather!
"Graduation is such a special time," says Wendy Flanagan, WECA's Assistant Director of Apprenticeship. "We have had the privilege to share in our graduates' lives for three to five years, and seeing them at graduation with their families and friends was amazing. We enjoyed watching our graduates thank their loved ones, employers, and instructors, and also enjoyed the big party celebration vibe of the evening!"
WECA thanks the Temecula Creek Inn for being such a fabulous venue -- replete with delicious food and drinks -- to host our Southern California graduation celebration at. Additionally, we are ever grateful for the generosity of the sponsors, gift donors, and industry supporters who contribute their time and resources to help make our graduations special for our graduates and their families.
WECA congratulates our 2024 Southern California graduates on their achievements, and we look forward to sharing in your future success in the electrical and low voltage industries!
