WECA’s new Industry Partner, Pro Trades Solutions, is a Utah-based construction staffing company founded with the goal of connecting skilled trades professionals with quality contractors while promoting a people-first approach to workforce solutions. The company was built on the belief that supporting both contractors and workers leads to stronger projects, safer jobsites, and long-term success throughout the construction industry.

Pro Trades Solutions provides temporary staffing, temp-to-hire, direct hire recruiting, and workforce solutions for the construction industry. The company specializes in placing qualified electricians, carpenters, and concrete professionals on commercial, industrial, and specialty construction projects throughout Utah. In addition to staffing services, Pro Trades Solutions is committed to supporting workforce well-being through mental health awareness initiatives and access to employee support resources.

“What sets Pro Trades Solutions apart from its competitors is its commitment to supporting the whole workforce, not just filling positions,” said Caroline Erickson, Director of Operations for Pro Trade Solutions. “While providing qualified skilled trades professionals remains the foundation of the business, Pro Trades Solutions also advocates for safety, workforce development, and mental health awareness within the construction industry. Construction has one of the highest rates of suicide and mental health challenges of any profession. Pro Trades Solutions is committed to helping reduce that stigma by promoting awareness, education, and access to support resources for skilled trades professionals and their families. The company believes that supporting the overall well-being of the workforce leads to stronger teams, better retention, and better outcomes for contractors.”

WECA Member Contractors would benefit from Pro Trades Solutions’ services by gaining access to a staffing partner that understands the electrical industry and the workforce challenges contractors face every day. Whether a contractor needs a single electrician to support a project or additional manpower to meet critical deadlines, Pro Trades Solutions helps provide quality talent while reducing the time and effort spent recruiting. The company’s focus on workforce support and employee well-being also helps contractors strengthen retention and workforce stability.

Pro Trades Solutions was interested in partnering with WECA because the company shares WECA’s commitment to workforce development, safety, education, and industry excellence. Partnering with WECA provides an opportunity to support member contractors, strengthen relationships within the electrical industry, and continue promoting initiatives that benefit both contractors and skilled trades professionals.
