Posted in: Company News on 06 August 2021
Congratulations Zachery! 
Wilson - Fifteen intelligent, talented, and skilled apprentices throughout WECC competed in the annual WECC Apprentice Contest on July 30, 2021. The contest is a two-day event, with day one testing their knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and day two putting their skills to the test in a blueprint to project build.
The competition between apprentices was fierce. But when the contest ended and after the judges evaluated each apprentice's booth, Zachery Bulker earned first place.
You can view the full coverage of this year's apprentice contest on our Facebook page's 2021 WECC Apprentice Contest's Photo album.
The apprentice program at Watson Electrical is a four-year program designed to get you started on your electrical career. If you are interested in learning more about the apprentice program, don't hesitate to get in touch with Eric Emde, HR Recruiter.
