Travis Hawley
Travis Hawley

Travis Hawley is an electrical apprentice with the South Central Minnesota Electrical JATC. After serving in the U.S. Air Force he took the advice of his father, also an IBEW Local 343 electrician, to pursue the trade via a registered apprenticeship program. Hawley is a strong advocate of the benefits of registered apprenticeship and encourages others to explore it as a pathway to a fulfilling career. His goals are to become a journeyworker electrician and to pursue a master electrical license and a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
