CarolinaPower Celebrates Four New Apprentices with “Signing Ceremony”
(L to R): Tennyson Haselden, Michael Crosland, Shaun Harris and Henry Pruitt.
CarolinaPower recently welcomed four new employees with an athletic style “signing ceremony,” complete with company-branded jerseys. All four are entering CarolinaPower’s four-year “earn-while-you-learn” electrical apprenticeship program.
Tennyson Haselden and Henry Pruitt are 2025 graduates of Lexington Technology Center’s (LTC) electrical program, while Michael Crosland and Shaun Harris are 2025 graduates of the Lexington School District Two Innovation Center (L2IC).
CarolinaPower’s Bradley Michie, branch manager for the Columbia office, and President Chris Moore led the signing ceremony, personally encouraging the new team members to embrace their future as part of the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
After the ceremony, the honorees enjoyed lunch with their new CarolinaPower family.
About CarolinaPower’s Four-Year
Apprenticeship Program
Registered with the S.C. Department of Labor, CarolinaPower’s comprehensive four-year electrical apprenticeship program teaches the skills for both construction and maintenance electricians. The program provides a combination of classroom, laboratory, and live work experiences. Apprentices work full-time during the day and attend classes several evenings per week. Graduates receive nationally recognized credentials from NCCER along with a certificate from their educational institution.
CarolinaPower proudly offers "earn-while-you-learn" electrical construction apprenticeships at all four locations in South Carolina. In Columbia, CarolinaPower’s apprenticeship program is administered by the Columbia Electric Council. In Greenville, apprentices attend classes through the ABC Carolinas Upstate Electrical Apprenticeship program, a partnership among six regional electrical contractors, and classes meet at Greenville Technical College. The Charleston office’s program is administered by the Charleston Electrical Contractors Association (CECA), with Trident Technical College as education partner. The North Augusta (S.C.) program is administered by IEC Georgia, a non-profit trade organization serving independent, non-union contractors in that state.
