Congratulations to Conner Piotrowski of Wake County Public School System (Rolesville High School) and L.L. Vann Electric, Inc. on receiving ApprenticeshipNC's 2026 Outstanding Registered Pre-Apprentice award! 🎉

When Conner joined L.L. Vann Electric as the company’s first Electrician Registered Pre-Apprentice, he quickly distinguished himself through his eagerness to learn, professionalism, and reliability. As L.L. Vann Electric’s program has expanded, Conner has emerged as a natural leader. He mentors new pre-apprentices, sets a positive example through his professionalism and use of proper PPE, and contributes ideas that have improved warehouse efficiency—one of which proved more effective than previous systems.

Known for his thoughtful approach and strong work ethic, Conner has earned the trust and respect of his team through action. He tackles the demands of the electrical industry with maturity, understanding that success requires continuous learning and dedication. His commitment to excellence and his passion for learning make him a truly deserving recipient of this award.

⚡ 18 students are about to change their futures this summer.

Tuesday, we celebrated the kickoff of the Careers Electric Summer Academy with 18 high school juniors and seniors from Cleveland County who are getting paid to learn, earning college credit, AND walking away with a pre-apprenticeship certificate. That's a head start most people only dream about.

We're grateful for our partners who joined us to celebrate these students, including Dr. Matt Meyer, North Carolina Business Committee for Education, Dr. Matt Tipton, Cleveland Early College High School, Mr. Rodney Borders (Cleveland County Schools), Mr. Juan Cherry (Shelby High School), and Mrs. Monica Dellinger (Pinnacle Classical Academy). It takes a community to build a workforce pipeline this strong.
