It's Career Fair Season!

by Michelle Dreier
Member Engagement/Gov't Affairs Manager

The Electrical Association gets many requests to speak to classrooms or to man a table at a career fair. We pass those opportunities to our members to assist in recruitment to the electrical industry. I can sit with you to assist.

When you see these e-mails cross your desk, if you are interested, volunteer immediately! These opportunities are competitive in nature and we work with Project Build MN to fill these events. First to respond gets to attend the event. Materials are provided to create interest for students and aid in the discussions.

Additionally, the Electrical Association is always engaged in workforce development projects with community-based organizations and Tech Schools. Don’t forget to check our resume page the next time you are looking for an entry-level apprentice. The Resume Center is a members-only benefit. Some of our prospective apprentices also come with some great workforce development perks such as tax incentives, scholarships, and wage reimbursement.

We have developed an Electrical Demo Board to assist you with some hands-on learning. We have LED helicopter kits, as well as a ton of free handouts you can download and share! Learn more
