Electrical Association

What are electrical contractors talking about right now?

In our Members-Only EA Contractor Briefing, we shared three trends we're hearing repeatedly across conversations with contractors:

⚡ Many contractors continue to stay busy and are actively adding to their crews.

🤖 Interest in AI is growing, but adoption varies significantly from company to company.

📈 Registered apprenticeship continues to gain momentum as contractors look to expand workforce pipelines and pursue new opportunities.

These are exactly the kinds of conversations, insights, and behind-the-scenes updates we're sharing exclusively with EA members each month.

Because membership is about more than access to resources — it's about staying connected to what's happening across the industry.

How can the EA's Apprenticeship Training Program help your business?

We're glad you asked!

According to Jesse Grant of Jim's Electric Company, “This course helps us attract employees and improve their standard of living through good-paying jobs and a sense of accomplishment. Also I see the people who take the course have a much easier time passing their exam.”

We couldn't have said it better than that!

If you want to attract great new employees, offering them high-quality training opportunities can be a big draw. And with the EA's Apprenticeship Course, you don't have to come up with your own training program! Learn more about the course and register your apprentices here:
