“Partnerships between utilities and contractors are a powerful combination in recruiting and advancing training that puts people to work and on career pathways quickly, something D&Z has witnessed firsthand.”
In James’ feature article in Alltricity Network’s Electric Energy Magazine summer 2025 edition, James explores this concept of collaboration and industry members’ responsibility in elevating the profile of craft careers. He touches on his testimony to the Nebraska Legislature in support of nuclear workforce development. He also shares success stories from D&Z’s experience delivering skilled craft labor solutions in both union and open shop environments and how we tailor our approach to meet each customer’s specific needs.
