BESS 2.0 adds solar panels, enhanced accuracy in replicating real-world jobsites to prepare apprentices for the evolving demands of the industry, an expanded range of learner interactions such as new tools and tasks that help apprentices verify that clearances meet code requirements and reinforce critical safety and compliance standards, and advanced assessment and feedback features that offer detailed performance insights to help apprentices improve their skills.

During Women in Construction Week 2025, WECA hosted an open house for its electrical and low voltage apprenticeship and training programs at its California headquarters--here's a quick recap of the experience! #womeninconstruction #electrician #lowvoltage #apprenticeship #apprenticeshiptraining #careersinconstruction #womeninthetrades

Resharing this post from WECA Arizona Member Contractor Corbins . We so appreciate your team's inspiring presence at our event! "A few women from our team recently got the opportunity to speak at the Western Electrical Contractors Association, Inc. Women in Construction Week Open House. They each spoke about their experience being a woman in construction and what it takes to be successful in this industry while breaking certain barriers they face on the job. Retelling the stories of how they got to the positions they are in today while listing their goals for the future was an inspiration to the many women who look to them for guidance and advice about ways to join the trades and start their careers." #goweca #womeninconstruction #wicweek #wicweek25 #womeninconstructionweek2025 #arizona #phoenix #corbins #apprenticeship #commercialelectrical #electricians #construction #trades #electrical #careersinconstruction

Before we call it a week on Women in Construction Week 2025, we'd like to share, in her own words, recent WECA Arizona Commercial Electrical Apprenticeship grad (and WECA Member Contractor Corbins employee) Shannon Denetsosie's inspiring apprenticeship journey (which she discussed at the Fresh Start Jumpstart for Women Expo and Career Fair in Phoenix). Shannon says, "I honestly did not think that I would be able to come this far. However, with Corbins' partnership with WECA, it has made it possible for me to work and be in school, and get tons of on-the-job training, especially with being a single mother of two. The apprenticeship program fits my life as a single mother and I love to learn new things and how things work. Throughout all these events leading up to where I am now, being in the construction trade has helped me build confidence in myself as well as enable me to provide for my kids."
