Dear Members,
With the uncertainty, if the current COVID restrictions will be removed in time to hold our banquet, I regret to announce that the April 10th, 2021 Awards Banquet will need to be canceled.
It is never an easy decision to cancel an event like this, but in the interest of keeping our members healthy and safe, I think it is best to cancel the event.
Thank you for your understanding.

State of Minnesota Apprentice of the Day Travis Hawley
/in Uncategorized /by NeilWednesday, Nov. 11, 2020
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.
Check out all the apprentices honored by the Department of Labor.
