Student Spotlight and Success Stories
We are proud to celebrate the hard work and success of our students and apprentices.
Student Spotlight: Luke Gibson
Meet Luke Gibson, a 2nd-year apprentice at IEC of Kansas!
- Why he chose IEC: “To be the best electrician I can be now, I needed a good understanding of theory and code as well as the methods of installation and repair.”
- Favorite part of the program: “The community and the drive we all have to learn and improve.”
- Future goals: “I hope to get my journeyman’s this summer and my master’s license shortly after graduating the program.”
- Advice for future apprentices: “Ask questions and be hungry to learn. Don’t be offended by critique, and remember there are so many ways to do our work—there is always room to grow.”
Join us in celebrating Luke and his journey toward a bright future in the electrical industry!
