U.S. Congressman Lacey Clay Visits the Electrical Industry Training Center - The Electrical Connection is justifiably proud of the St. Louis Electrical Industry Training Center. The center was established in 1947 and upgraded with a $1 million industry investment in 1999 to provide additional training in structured wiring systems to carry voice, data and video. Today, the center provides training to more than 1,200 electrical industry apprentices and journeymen every year to ensure the industry’s performance on behalf of customers.

U.S. Congressman William “Lacy” Clay visited the center in 2005 to learn more about career pathways for a diverse workforce in the high-tech union electrical contracting industry. He was briefed on the union electrical industry’s outreach programs to help minorities, women and others succeed in the construction’s most high-tech field. The St. Louis Electrical Industry Training Center is recognized as one of the nation’s top high-tech learning laboratories for electrical construction and communication craft workers. It is located at 2300 Hampton Ave. in St. Louis. Runtime: 1:30
