🌐 Our Permian Basin team was hard at work in October with a month full of meaningful connections and new opportunities: • We welcomed a special visitor, Mr. Morris Williams Jr., Deputy City Manager from the City of Midland. He met with our staff and students, offering his support and mentorship for the next generation of skilled professionals. • Our team toured the automation and industrial systems' new facility and lab at New Mexico Junior College. We’re excited about this new partnership, with our first pre-apprentice electrical class kicking off there on January 13, 2025! • We had the chance to connect with the high school seniors at Richard Milburn Academy (RMA) during an admissions presentation, sharing insights into rewarding careers in the skilled trades. 🔨 Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to make an impact in the Permian Basin! #skillpointalliance #permainbasin #careerdevelopment #skilledtrades #careeropportunities #communitypartners
