⭐ Spotlight on Success: Sonny Anaya, Permian Basin pre-apprentice electrical graduate. “I signed up for the electrical apprenticeship program hoping this training would help me find better job opportunities. I had a little experience working with electric submersible pumps and had done some electrical work as a handyman. The electrical apprenticeship program was a good fit for me.” Head to our website to view more student success stories: https://lnkd.in/g-SVgvZb #SkillpointAlliance #successstory #careertraining #workforcedevelopment #inspiration #motivation #electrician #permianbasin

⭐ Spotlight on Success: Earlier this year, CBS 7 reported about Brysa Hinojosa and Nadia Navarette being the only two women in their Skillpoint Alliance electrical class, and upon graduation they began their own twenty-four/seven electrical company. “We saw this gap in the market that wasn’t being met and we want to ensure that local electricians and contractors have the reliability of having those electrical supplies 24/7 because without the reliability and having those supplies when they need them it sets back those project deadlines.” - co-owner of Foreman Electrical Supply Nadia Navarette.
