Not long ago, Jaden Muniz wasn't sure what direction his life would take. Today, he is the first Mears Electric Solutions employee to graduate from the Independent Electrical Contractors-Rocky Mountain Chapter (IECRM) Program.
Over the past four years, Jaden completed more than 8,000 hours of hands-on fieldwork and 576 hours of classroom instruction while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
Through long days in the field, challenging coursework, and the support of mentors along the way, Jaden discovered confidence, purpose, and a clear vision for his future.
"Stuff just makes sense now," Jaden said.
As the first Mears Electric graduate of the program, Jaden is helping pave the way for about 40 current apprentices who will follow in his footsteps. Mears Electric expects to double that number next year.
“Jaden demonstrates all the things we look for at Mears. He has demonstrated humility, perseverance, and strong leadership skills,” said Dave Pavelka, president of Mears Electric. “We could not have asked for a better individual to represent Mears Electric as our first graduate.”
Congratulations, Jaden, on this outstanding achievement. We're proud to have you on the team and excited to see what comes next.
