與 IEC 和 ELECTRI 合作,向進入熟練行業的學生髮放了 200,000 美元的獎學金

PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 23, 2024 / Wesco International (NYSE:WCC), a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services, and supply chain solutions, today announced a scholarship program as part of Wesco Cares, its corporate philanthropy program, to support the next generation of tradespeople. In partnership with Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) as well as ELECTRI International, an electrical construction foundation established by the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), the $200,000 scholarship will be awarded to students entering skilled trades in the U.S. electrical industry.

賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡/ACCESSWIRE/2024年5月23日/領先的企業對企業配送、物流服務和供應鏈解決方案提供商韋斯科國際(紐約證券交易所代碼:WCC)今天宣佈了一項獎學金計劃,這是其企業慈善計劃Wesco Cares的一部分,旨在支持下一代商人。與獨立電氣承包商(IEC)以及美國國家電氣承包商協會(NECA)成立的電氣施工基金會ELECTRI International合作,將向進入美國電氣行業熟練行業的學生頒發20萬美元的獎學金。

The new scholarship program underscores Wesco's commitment to the electrical industry and the hard-working individuals who power progress in our world. There has never been a more crucial time to support and encourage the next generation of skilled laborers as demand for large, complex electrification projects to support sustainability goals continues to increase, amplifying the need for essential skilled laborers.

新的獎學金計劃凸顯了Wesco對電氣行業和推動我們世界進步的辛勤工作的個人的承諾。支持和鼓勵下一代熟練勞動力的關鍵時刻比以往任何時候都更加關鍵,因爲支持可持續發展目標的大型、複雜的電氣化項目的需求不斷增加,這加劇了對基本熟練勞動力的需求。

As the largest electrical distributor in North America, Wesco understands the critical role of tradespeople in powering our world and moving the electrical industry forward. Similarly, IEC and ELECTRI are tireless advocates of the electrical industry and are both committed to supporting the next generation of contractors. By helping to reduce the financial costs associated with trade school and apprenticeship expenses, the scholarship program encourages interest in the trades and contributes to an increase in skilled labor. "The IEC Scholarship will allow me to focus on my studies and career, keeping workers safe by understanding electrical concepts and practical applications. I am so very grateful to have received this scholarship and will continue to work diligently to be successful in my training as an apprentice," said Jennifer Calloway, IEC Scholarship recipient.

作爲北美最大的電氣分銷商,Wesco了解商人在推動我們的世界和推動電氣行業向前發展方面的關鍵作用。同樣,IEC和ELECTRI都是電氣行業的不懈倡導者,都致力於支持下一代承包商。通過幫助降低與職業學校和學徒費用相關的財務成本,該獎學金計劃鼓勵人們對行業的興趣,並有助於增加熟練勞動力。“IEC獎學金將使我能夠專注於我的學習和職業,通過了解電氣概念和實際應用來確保工人的安全。IEC獎學金獲得者詹妮弗·卡洛威說,我很感激獲得這筆獎學金,並將繼續努力工作,以期在學徒培訓中取得成功。

"At Wesco, we believe people are our greatest asset, and the hard-working individuals who power progress are the heart of our industry," said John Engel, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We recognize the significant impact skilled trade labor shortages are having on our contractor customers and their ability to execute construction projects on time and on budget. In support of our commitment to the electrical industry, we are very pleased to present these two scholarship funds to IEC as well as ELECTRI to strengthen the talent pipeline and increase the labor pool for contractors."

董事長、總裁兼首席執行官約翰·恩格爾表示:“在Wesco,我們相信人才是我們最大的資產,而推動進步的辛勤工作的人是我們行業的核心。“我們認識到,熟練貿易勞動力短缺對我們的承包商客戶及其按時按預算執行建築項目的能力產生了重大影響。爲了支持我們對電氣行業的承諾,我們很高興向IEC和ELECTRI提供這兩項獎學金,以加強人才管道並增加承包商的勞動力庫。”

"ELECTRI International is extremely grateful for Wesco's dedication to the electrical construction industry and its many contributions to promote prosperity in the trade, especially this scholarship," said ELECTRI Director of Future Workforce Development Anna Jochim. "This scholarship will ensure the success of NECA-ELECTRI's new Project Management Apprenticeship Program which is expected to create a much-needed talent pipeline for NECA contractors."

ELECTRI未來勞動力發展總監安娜·喬希姆說:“ELECTRI International非常感謝Wesco對電氣建築行業的奉獻及其爲促進貿易繁榮所做的諸多貢獻,特別是這項獎學金。”“這項獎學金將確保NECA-ELECTRI的新項目管理學徒計劃取得成功,該計劃有望爲NECA承包商創造急需的人才渠道。”
