What does a successful apprenticeship program actually look like?Tom Keena spent approximately 15 years working in the electrical trade before becoming an educator. After experiencing apprenticeship classes that relied heavily on diagrams and classroom instruction, Tom believed students needed more opportunities to troubleshoot, wire, build, and practice with the equipment they would encounter in the field.Nearly three decades later, he has helped develop a hands-on electrical program serving approximately 250 apprentices and more than 350 total students.In this episode, Tom joins Noah, Ken, and Adam to discuss how his program works, why contractors participate in its advisory board, and what students need to do to become attractive candidates for an apprenticeship.Tom also explains why completing a class is only part of the equation.
