Strengthening the Pipeline: NECA Participates in National Careers in Trades Week
NECA is proud to participate in National Careers in Trade Week (April 6-10), spotlighting the essential role our industry plays in powering the nation’s economy. With demand for skilled electricians continuing to rise, this initiative is an opportunity to elevate awareness of the rewarding, high-demand careers our industry offers. NECA is committed to supporting members through workforce development, education, and advocacy efforts that help attract, train, and retain the next generation of electrical professionals.
NECA’s April Safety Minute highlights several important OSHA updates, including the launch of the new Safety Champions Program aimed at helping employers strengthen their safety and health programs through continuous improvement. This month also covers OSHA guidance on recording lithium-ion battery-related injuries, details on the upcoming National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents, and a focus on struck-by hazards—one of construction’s leading causes of injuries and fatalities.
NECA’s Legislative Conference, taking place May 4-6, is set to bring contractors and chapter leaders to Washington, D.C. for a focused three-day event centered on the issues shaping our industry. This year’s program features expert insights on permitting and infrastructure, as well as in-depth discussions to sharpen your advocacy skills on Capitol Hill and at home.
