Congratulations to Jose Rodriguez, the Salutatorian of the WECA Southern California Class of 2025 Electrician Trainee Certificate Program!

Jose, who works for WECA Member Contractor Sunrun, says that his Electrician Trainee Program coursework and on-the-job experience has prepared him for his career by helping him understand and navigate the code book, and by providing variety and the ability to learn something new every day.

Jose credits his accomplishment to “God and second, my lady Itzel, for her patience, support, and endurance” and encourages others WECA Electrician Trainees to “be consistent with your homework, don’t be afraid to ask questions you don’t know the answer to, and be open-minded and willing to learn from your own mistakes and others’ mistakes.”

After graduation, Jose plans to continue working with Sunrun, and seek out the continued opportunities that his electrician certification provides.

Congratulations, Jose! Your tenacity and curiosity are integral to continuing to craft a successful career in the electrical industry and serve as inspiration to current and future Electrician Trainees alike. We look forward to your continued accomplishments in California’s electrical industry!
