Watson Apprentices Shine at the 40th Annual NC State Fair Apprenticeship Contest

NC State Fair Apprenticeship Contest

Recognizing Excellence in Apprenticeship

What an electrifying performance! This year, our Watson team proudly competed in the 40th Annual NC State Fair Electrical Apprenticeship Contest — hosted by ApprenticeshipNC — showcasing the skill, dedication, and determination that define our apprenticeship program.

Each of our five participants put in countless hours of preparation leading up to the competition — demonstrating their commitment not just to the trade, but to their continued growth as electrical professionals. Their performance reflects the high standards of craftsmanship and learning that our apprenticeship program is built upon.

We’re especially proud to recognize Cedrick Spruill and Issachar De La Cruz for their strong showing in the competition. Additionally, we’d like to congratulate those who placed:

  • 3rd Place: Zachary Dixon
  • 6th Place: Anthony Curotola
  • 10th Place: Tyler Hendrix

This event highlights the importance of continued education and hands-on training in the electrical industry — and the bright future ahead for our next generation of electricians. Congratulations to all our participants on representing Watson with excellence, integrity, and skill.

Your hard work inspires us all, and we can’t wait to see how you continue to grow and lead in the years ahead.
