Cummings Electrical through the Skills Development Grant is already generating tangible results for employees like Juan Montero, a recently promoted Area Supervisor. Juan joined the company in 2017 as a 5-year apprentice. Eight years and over 30 training classes later, he successfully moved into his new leadership role.
"I can't say enough about the training classes offered by Cummings Electrical. From the very first day I started working here, I took the initiative to grow my knowledge and haven't stopped yet. The classes have allowed me to become comfortable and confident on the job site and in my everyday tasks, pushing me out of my comfort zone. The help and guidance I have received along the way have made the journey even more significant. I am grateful to Cummings, TCC and WSTC," shares Juan.
Juan's journey is a powerful example of the grant's success, his promotion to Area Supervisor would not have been possible without the commitment to continuous training provided through this program. This demonstrates how Skills Development funding directly enables businesses to invest in their human capital, fostering employee loyalty, reducing turnover and building internal pipelines for leadership roles.
Employees who complete the training are projected to earn up to $37/hour, a clear testament to the program’s real-world impact on economic mobility. And with TCC’s Corporate Solutions team at the helm and WSTC’s strategic support, this initiative exemplifies what’s possible when education, industry and workforce collaborates.
The Cummings Electrical journey is a powerful reminder: when employers invest in their people and public resources meet private ambition, the results are ELECTRIC!
