IBEW Local 104 in conjunction with New Hampshire’s IBEW Electrical Workers (NHPowerJobs.com) has started a media campaign promoting the electrical apprenticeship program’s efforts to find apprentice applicants in New Hampshire to support regional electric transmission projects such as Northern Pass.
The media campaign focuses on The Northeastern Apprenticeship and Training (NEAT) Program, which is seeking New Hampshire applicants for the program’s world-class educational programs in preparation for upcoming electric transmission projects in New Hampshire and New England.
“NEAT continues to prepare a prolific group of men and women who are ‘always ready’ and ‘highly trained’ to handle the state’s electrical construction and maintenance needs, including its growing alternative energy efforts,” a press release used for the campaign states.
The media blitz immediately garnered attention from news outlets around the state. Some of the first stories to be printed as a result of the campaign include:
