Student Spotlight and Success Stories
We are proud to celebrate the hard work and success of our students and apprentices.
Student Spotlight: Paul Kuznetsov
Meet Paul Kuznetsov, a 2nd year apprentice at IEC of Oregon!
- Why they chose IEC: “I chose IEC because electrical work gives light and power to the people, also because it is a great and rewarding job.”
- Favorite part of the program: “My favorite part is I get to go to work as an electrician and learn on the job, then go to school in the evenings to learn exactly what I’m doing at work.”
- Future goals: “My future goals are to become a supervisor after I become a journeyman electrician, then pass my supervisor test to be able to own my own business.”
- Advice for future apprentices: “Everyone starts on the bottom and has to work their way up. No matter the task in front of you, do it with a smile. Eventually, you will be respected by the journeyman and given more rewarding tasks.”
Join us in celebrating Paul and his journey toward a bright future in the electrical industry!
