Share in Their Graduation Event with Video, Pictures, and Memories of the Celebration
 

On June 22nd, 2024, WECA held a celebratory event to honor the first-ever graduating class from our WECA Utah Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship Program.

Please join us in reliving some great moments as we celebrated the WECA Utah Class of 2024!

Congratulations to the WECA Utah Class of 2024!

We were thrilled to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments at their graduation event on Saturday, June 22nd in Salt Lake City.

Don Black, WECA CEO, shares how meaningful it was to see our first-ever graduating Utah class celebrated by their families and employers, such as WECA Member Contractors Hunt Electric and Helix Electric, in addition to Rena Maza, the Apprenticeship Navigator for the Utah Department of Workforce Services, and Scott Romney, the Commissioner of Apprenticeship Programs for Utah.

Don also highlighted how gratified we are by the continued support and generosity of our Member Contractors and graduate gift donors (Milwaukee Tool, Klein Tools, Platt Electric Supply, and Build26), which helped to make the event even more memorable.

Talon Pobuda, Apprenticeship Manager and Lead Instructor for the WECA Utah Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship Program, says that the graduation "Was a fun and lighthearted event to reward the graduates' hard work. It was awesome to hear several of the graduates speak about their appreciation of WECA's program and methods. WECA's goal is not just to make journeypersons--it is to make the best electricians and future leaders in Utah. This group of graduates are fine examples of exactly that, and I am grateful and proud to have helped them get where they are now. The presence of Member Contractors underscored their support and reflected the strong community within WECA. Special guests like Scott Romney and Rena Maza highlighted the state's endorsements of our efforts. Generous donations from Industry Partners like DeWalt, Milwaukee Tool, Klein Tools, Platt Electric Supply, and Build26 provided valuable tools and swag and enhanced the experience for our graduates."

Congratulations, graduates! We are immensely proud of you, our first graduating class, and look forward to all that you will accomplish in the future as contributors and leaders to the electrical industry in Utah!

WECA thanks our sponsors and graduate gift donors for making the first-ever WECA Utah Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship graduation extra special for our graduates!
