Understanding low-voltage electrical concepts is the first step in building an electrification workforce. Emily — along with the rest of the second cohort of our Connecting Minority Communities Workforce Program in Philly — recently finished up her foundational training and started her on-site, industry internship. We’re so proud of participants like Emily, who is not only learning a skill that will take her into the future, but who is also a part of the next generation of women in the trades.
