Women in Construction Week 2026 was one for the books! We hosted our 2026 Women in Construction Week Open House at our California headquarters in Rancho Cordova on March 4th, and were thrilled to celebrate women in construction and spotlight WECA's apprenticeship and training programs, facility, and women in our apprenticeship and electrician trainee certificate programs with so many members of the community.

"Attendees were great and they were all really engaged," said Ricky Nguyen, WECA's Workforce Development Supervisor. "We even had one that is currently in the ET program travel all the way from Riverside to attend. We started with an introduction of WECA and then took them to Randy's low voltage lab, where he showed them around. We then came back to the auditorium, where our third-year apprentice Tyana LaBranch spoke about her experience at WECA and we opened up the room for questions. After, LaKeal did a commercial demo for the attendees. We then closed it out with a PowerPoint and Q&A session."

Thank you to everyone who attended the open house and to everyone who celebrated women in construction, online and in real life, this month!
