Written by Power Design | Jan 27, 2025 7:09:11 PM

At Power Design, we’re not just building projects—we’re building the future of construction! What started as a small initiative has grown into a powerhouse program shaping the industry, one skilled tradesperson at a time. Our Apprenticeship Program continues to help individuals launch their careers in the electrical field, and now, we’re taking things to the next level. 

 

This year’s Apprenticeship Signing Day wasn’t just about welcoming our newest class of electrical apprentices—it was a milestone moment in Power Design history as we introduced our first-ever class of mechanical apprentices! That’s right, we’re expanding our reach and creating even more opportunities for people to kickstart an exciting career in the trades. With each new apprentice, we’re strengthening the future of construction and proving that when you invest in people, the possibilities are endless. 

 

To dive deeper into what makes our apprenticeship program so impactful, we caught up with two of the people who help bring it all to life! Meet Katie Leonard, our Learning and Development Manager, and Ron Pelkey, our Senior Technical Instructor. As two of the most instrumental people in shaping the program and making a lasting impact on our apprentices, they gave us the inside scoop on how the program has grown, what’s on the horizon, and how our apprentices are shaping the future of Power Design!  

 

Power Design’s Apprenticeship Program isn’t just growing—it’s thriving. With every new signing class, we’re building a stronger, more skilled workforce that’s ready to take on the future of construction. And now, with the addition of our first-ever mechanical apprentices, we’re expanding opportunities and opening even more doors for people looking to kickstart their careers in the trades. Check out the video below to get a glimpse of our newest class! 

 

 

Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedication and hard work of our Learning and Development team, instructors, and everyone who supports our apprentices along the way. Their passion and commitment have shaped this program into what it is today—an incredible launchpad for success. Whether you’re thinking about joining the program or just cheering from the sidelines, one thing’s for sure—we’re only just getting started.
