The Successful Contractor Podcast

Episode Show Notes / Description
Metro Electric can be found just north of Detroit, serving Romeo, MI, and beyond.  This contracting company has been growing rapidly. They generate more than $5MM in generators and $1MM in residential service; plus, they have a massive commercial division.  It takes plenty of good electricians to provide the exceptional service Metro Electric has become known for.  It’s why they developed an in-house apprenticeship program that trains young people in a trade that will serve them for life.  It’s just one of the many things Metro Electric does so very well.  
 
In this interview with Metro Electric Vice President Kristina Perkins, she details the company’s apprenticeship program. She also shares how they…
·        Recruit young people and new construction electricians to Metro Electric.
·        Carefully interview people to find the very best candidates.
·        Utilize regular training to ensure their team delivers on every opportunity.
·        Launched a residential club membership program to curb shoulder seasons.
·        Created a strong company culture through consistent communication and fun!
·        And so much more!
