IBEW Local 43 Makes it a Holiday Tradition Supporting Oswego Hospital’s Maternity Center

Summary

IBEW Local 43's apprentice class has made a holiday tradition of donating baby items to the Oswego Hospital Maternity Center for the past five years. Through their Cans4Kids program, apprentices collect funds to purchase essential baby items, benefiting families in the Oswego County area.

This initiative not only supports local families but also emphasizes the role of apprentices in community service, showcasing how apprenticeship programs can foster social responsibility and engagement among their participants.

Why this matters for apprenticeships

This story highlights how registered apprenticeship programs can extend their impact beyond traditional training through community service projects. It demonstrates the importance of apprenticeships in developing not just skilled workers but also responsible community members.
