ELECTRI International has selected two recipients for its 2015 Early Career Awards.  At its July 13-14 meeting in Chicago, the ELECTRI Council voted to fund two innovative research studies:

• Exploring Where the Electrical Construction Workforce Comes From and Their Career Awareness, Ben Bigelow, Texas A&M University 

• Electrical Contractors’ Perception and Practices with Risk Management, Anthony Perrenoud, University of Oklahoma 

The Early Career Awards are designed to give younger faculty members the opportunity to become more involved with the electrical construction industry and with ELECTRI International.
