Baker Electric was proud to partner with McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. this weekend for an event focused on introducing high school students to the many rewarding opportunities available within the construction industry.
Students had the chance to explore both field and operations career paths while learning how engineering and construction careers can lead to impactful roles across the industry. Through hands-on activities and interactive stations, students gained valuable insight into the skills, teamwork, and innovation that drive construction forward.
It was inspiring to see the students so engaged throughout the event, especially the young women who were excited to discover they could confidently step into skilled trades and succeed in this field.

We had the privilege of hearing from four past NAWIC chapter presidents who shared powerful stories about the organization’s beginnings, the legacy built over the past 60+ years, and how NAWIC has shaped their personal and professional journeys. Their reflections were a meaningful reminder of the impact we can continue to make as we carry the torch forward.
