Thompson Electric Helps Get Fifth Graders Interested in Trades

How early is too early to get youth interested in a career in electrical contracting? According to management at Thompson Electric Co. (Sioux City, Iowa), fifth grade may not be too early. For a couple of years, Kent Grange, the company's director of business development, had an idea of contacting a local middle school to see if his company could come in and give a presentation to the eighth-grade students during their freshman orientation. This past spring, however, he happened to see a news story about fifth graders who visited a local college.
