🎉 Happy National Apprenticeship Week! From April 26 to May 2, we’re celebrating how apprenticeships create exciting career opportunities for employees and help employers fuel economic growth. This year’s theme, “America at Work: Making America Skilled Again Through Registered Apprenticeship,” emphasizes how these programs are building a skilled workforce for today and tomorrow.

At Great River Energy, we’re proud to celebrate our apprentices’ achievements: 15 reached journey-level status in 2025, 7 are on track to do so this year, and 18 more are expected to reach journey-level in the next 12–24 months. Here’s to empowering talent and shaping the future!
