Resharing this great news from the California Labor Commissioner's Office and the California Department of Industrial Relations: "The California Labor Commissioner's Office is excited to announce the application backlog for the Electrician Certification Unit has been resolved. Team members redirected their work to assist with and process more than 27,000 applications this year. Electricians and trainees can now expect a 30-day processing time for new applications and renewals. We appreciate your understanding and patience while we improved this process." #goweca #california #electrician #electriciancertification #careersinconstruction

Grand Canyon University's Center for Workforce Development offers Trades pathways for students, including offering scholarships for a one-semester pre-apprenticeship curriculum for electricians. Students are sponsored in the classroom through generous donations from company partners that also provide career support and industry knowledge about the workforce and the apprenticeship pathway. During the semester, students are prepared for the industry as they are exposed to Corbins and WECA, both in the classroom and also in getting to visit their training centers where students learn hands-on techniques and tool identification. Janet and Lisette Amaya, sisters and now both WECA Commercial Electrical Apprentices with Member Contractor Corbins, will be speaking in person about their experiences in the GCU program at the October 22nd National Association of Women in Construction meeting in Phoenix—register here! https://loom.ly/FQ5AKPg #goweca #wecamade #wecapride #arizona #phoenix #apprenticeship #commercialelectrical #buildyourcareer #earnwhileyoulearn #earnasyoulearn #nodebt #payingforcollege #careersinconstruction #womeninconstruction
