New electrical contractors enter our markets every year; these individuals perform work that electrical inspectors ultimately review. Involvement in activities in which these individuals participate, using the opportunities to educate, is getting to the grassroots of electrical safety. The IAEI West Virginia recognized an opportunity to be a leader in safety through involvement with the Skills-USA program in their state. Jack Jamison and a host of other key individuals worked hard to create a program that would challenge and educate the best of the best in West Virginia. Jack and his supporters successfully set the bar for the quality of electrical contractor that our markets demand. This team was working directly with students and their educators and helped to shape the mindset of the type of entry level contractor our industries need. This was an opportunity to drive the importance of workmanship and code-compliance that these individuals will take with them into the field.
