TRAINING DEPARTMENT

JEFF SATTERFIELD | TRAINING MANAGER

This second quarter has been a busy one across the regions. We have had many apprentices graduate the ABC this past June. June 10th the ABC or Southern Nevada celebrated the Las Vegas area graduates. We had a total of ten apprentices graduating that night.

June twenty fourth the northern trust of ABC celebrated the apprentices in Reno. Helix had two apprentices graduate that night. In addition to the training minute, we have started a series of classes covering the basics of tools and skills. These short classes will be geared to the starting electrician. Wire termination and connections, pipe threading, hole saw and KO set, hand tools and power tools will be some of the first classes. These will be quick classes held after work so let your crews know and encourage them to sign up.

We have added a new team mate to the department. I would like to introduce Melissa Stevens. She moved to Las Vegas with her boyfriend from Portland Oregon. They relocated for work and to get away from the rain and dreariness of the pacific northwest. On her first day with us she got to experience her first thunderstorm in Las Vegas. She enjoys mountain biking and hiking and will be exploring the surrounding areas. She will be the point of contact and able to assist with requests for training and certifications. I am excited with the experience and attitude that she is going to bring to the department.

We are starting a new program this July. Be on the lookout for this QR code around the offices. When you scan the codes, this will take you to a training minute. These training pieces will be on various topics, from the NEC to leadership skills. We will be updating every two weeks. If you have a particular topic you would like to see, send us an email.
