The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) National Craft Championships were held in Kissimmee, Fla., on March 16. This competitive arena provides opportunity for craft apprentices from across the country to demonstrate their construction knowledge, superior skills, and safe work practices.
These individuals competed for top honors in the constantly growing field of construction professionals. The competition required an intensive two-hour exam, as well as a six-hour, hands-on, practical performance test.
Gaylor Electric’s team swept the Commercial/Industrial category, bringing home individual medals of gold, silver, and bronze. Additionally, the Commercial Team received the bronze medal, and the Utility champion took home a silver medal and the overall Safety Award.
