🎉 Celebrating the Graduation of UMAP Cohort 35! 🎓✨

We’re honored to partner with the Utility Workers Military Assistance Program (UMAP), an initiative committed to helping veterans transition into meaningful careers in the utility industry by providing the training, support, and opportunities they deserve.

Today we recognize the determination, discipline, and hard work of Cohort 35 as they complete the program and prepare to step into careers that play a vital role in keeping our communities powered and connected.

To all of the graduates, thank you for your service and for continuing to lead with dedication and purpose. We’re excited to see the impact you will make in this next chapter.

Join us in congratulating UMAP Cohort 35 on this amazing achievement!

📢 Workforce funding is on the line.

Congress is deciding right now whether to protect or slash workforce programs that workers and businesses rely on. The Senate plan protects funding—but the House bill would mean devastating cuts.

We’re joining National Skills Coalition
in urging Congress to:
✅ Reject harmful cuts
✅ Fund WIOA, CTE, and adult education at least at Senate levels
✅ Invest in training that connects workers to good jobs and employers to skilled talent
