A leading electrical subcontractor throughout New England and the Southeast with more than four decades of experience, Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) is a firm believer that the continued success of the company and future of the industry relies heavily on the cultivation of highly skilled electrical craft workers. Griffin Electric recognizes that women and other underrepresented groups possess valuable skills and unique perspectives, and strives to do all that it can to help them have successful careers in the trades.
Griffin Electric proudly celebrates both its 45th anniversary and the 30th year of its Apprenticeship Training Program in 2023. The company takes an active role by partnering with local organizations focused on highlighting the value of promoting construction as a viable career option for women. Griffin Electric also works to uphold equality and actively promotes diversity as an important component of its merit shop philosophy and commitment to “Work with the Best. Be the Best.”
The company’s free, in-house Apprenticeship Training Program is accredited by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and is designated as an approved training site by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Classroom and hands-on instruction takes place in the 27,500sf of training space that is part of Griffin’s headquarters in Holliston, Mass., and on-site at each of the company’s regional offices in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina. Apprentices benefit from 600 hours of classroom instruction and on-the-job learning, where they earn excellent wages and benefits while gaining 8,000 hours of practical field experience under the supervision of a licensed journeyperson.
Though apprenticeship may be the same starting point for many, each individual has the ability to move forward in whichever path she may choose. If a woman has the talent, drive and desire to pursue greater leadership opportunities in her career, Griffin Electric will do everything in its power to help make those aspirations a reality. The company is committed to helping all women earn competitive wages and advance their careers equitably.
Griffin Electric offers a mix of both job-related and personal improvement resources throughout the year to help employees achieve an ideal work/life balance. Through a partnership with Wentworth Institute of Technology, Griffin is also able to provide a rare opportunity for licensed graduates of its Apprenticeship Program to achieve an Associate of Applied Science in Engineering Technology degree, with the company covering up to 70% of tuition costs.
With several large-scale projects on the horizon, Griffin has exciting employment opportunities in both the office and the field, and is currently looking for dedicated individuals. More than just a job, the company is proud to help the next generation of individuals forge their own paths and embark on exciting and successful careers.
