Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc.( Griffin Electric) is grateful to“ Work with the Best” and recognizes the important contributions that its team members make. Women at Griffin Electric are making their mark and helping the company deliver projects and exceed client expectations. As a supporter of women in construction, the company is proud to champion its team members but is also committed to helping facilitate opportunities for all women in the trades.

Being a leader in the industry is about more than just building projects, and Griffin Electric has always spearheaded the type of actions that can lead to a better and brighter future for the construction industry. The company actively promotes construction careers to different audiences to increase access to the skilled trades, especially for those who may not be as aware of the many career opportunities.

Throughout the year, Griffin Electric participates in vocational and traditional school visits and career fairs across New England and the Southeast. While things are slowly changing, many high school students are still guided toward traditional higher education, so it is important they know there are many opportunities for their future. The company also works closely with a range of organizations and looks to spread awareness about one of the most powerful gateways to the skilled trades: apprenticeship.

For over 30 years, Griffin Electric’ s debt-free Apprenticeship Training Program has helped prepare many to become licensed electricians and telecom technicians. The program is offered on-site at its Holliston, Mass. headquarters and at each of its Southeast office locations. Apprentices earn excellent compensation and full benefits over the course of four years.

Griffin Electric employees are encouraged to take their careers in their own hands and pursue a range of goals. Several women who graduated from the program and recently attained their licensure are already charting their own course. Some have finished teaching requirements and are serving as instructors in the very program they completed. Another team member has undergone additional trainings to help her take on greater responsibilities on the jobsite. Others have even taken their careers in a different direction and transitioned to office positions. The company commits to doing what it can to offer support to employees no matter what future they envision for themselves.

Griffin Electric offers employees job-related and personal improvement resources throughout the year. It also grants team members with $ 2,000 of

annual tuition reimbursement to pursue additional educational programs that support career objectives. Graduates of its apprenticeship program even have an opportunity to attain their electrical or telecom licensure and earn an associate degree or higher thanks to the company’ s partnership with local colleges. Completing the apprenticeship program gives graduates nearly half the credits needed toward the degree, and Griffin Electric pays up to 70 % or more of tuition.

As women throughout Griffin Electric continue to pave their own way and contribute to its success, the company remains committed to supporting them. Griffin Electric is also committed to promoting the skilled trades as an excellent career pathway for future success. It is proud to employ such a talented team of individuals who come from varied backgrounds, and each person brings important perspectives to make the company stronger.
