Connecting with Sacramento-Area High School Students at SRBX's Trades Day on Oct. 9 in Sacramento



Workforce Development Specialist Richard Meek and Workforce Development Manager Diane Trotter are excited to reach out to the next generation of electricians and low voltage technicians!



Diane shares the merits of WECA's three apprenticeship programs with interested attendees.

WECA's Outreach Team had a great time conducting outreach and lab demos for high school students at SRBX's Trades Day in Sacramento on Oct. 9!

We enjoyed seeing WECA Member Contractors Barnum & Celillo Electric, Royal Electric Company, and Mark III Construction at the event, and also loved having the chance to explore WECA's three electrical and low voltage apprenticeship program options with the students who stopped by our table -- we hope to see them at WECA soon! 



The lab demos were popular for attendees to watch!



It was a rare treat to have Curriculum Development and GetWired Training Manager Dan Bierly come in from Texas to attend WECA's Northern California graduation ceremony. He couldn't resist joining in representing WECA at SRBX's Trades Day! Here, Dan discusses WECA's apprenticeship programs with an attendee.



WECA loves seeing our Member Contractors at industry events! Here, employees of WECA Member Contractor Barnum & Celillo Electric take a break from outreach to pose for the camera.
