The future of the utility and construction industry starts with today’s students. ⚡

At our Osceola and St. Cloud locations, we welcomed students from the OUC-sponsored Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program for a career exploration day, where they toured our facilities, met with OUC team members and learned about rewarding careers in the trades.

In partnership with @ibuildcentralfl, @Osceolaschools, Turner Construction and the Associated Builders and Contractors, we’re helping students explore skilled trade careers while investing in the future workforce that will serve our community.

Stay tuned, next week these students will officially graduate from the Osceola Summer Pre-Apprenticeship Program! #CommunityPowered #FLPublicPower
