Summary

Alabama Power has been recognized nationally for its commitment to skilled trades, particularly through its partnership with North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU). The company's CEO, Mark Crosswhite, will serve as a spokesperson for a campaign promoting Apprenticeship Readiness Programs (ARPs) aimed at developing a skilled workforce in local communities.

The ARPs provide students with hands-on training and educational services that prepare them for careers in various building trades. This initiative not only supports economic growth but also emphasizes the importance of investing in underrepresented communities and transitioning veterans, aligning with broader workforce development goals across the nation.

By promoting ARPs, Alabama Power demonstrates a commitment to cultivating a skilled labor force, which is essential for the future of the construction industry and the economy as a whole.
