Interested In Starting an Internship? Start Here!

The electrical industry is facing one of the most unique sets of recruiting challenges in its history. With a large Baby Boomer population exiting the field in greater numbers than younger generations are entering and the industry operating within a U.S. Economy, that’s experiences its lowest unemployment rates so far this century, the electrical industry needs to compete harder than ever to secure its share of the 80 million millennials who are accounting for an increasingly larger percentage of the nation’s workforce with each passing day.
