The company expects most, if not all, of the most recent Capi- tal Community College program graduates to be interviewing for job openings shortly. Eversource, which serves 1.27 million elec- trical customers in Connecticut, currently employs about 436 line workers. "After 11 weeks, when it comes time to interview they are already familiar with Eversource and the culture, they're prepared to be competitive candidates for perma- nent positions," Harris said. Galain is a line apprentice, a position with starting pay of $37.23 per hour. After a few years, he'll be able to move up and have more responsibilities as a fully qualified line worker, which receives starting hourly pay of $54.87. "They earn their stripes before they move up the ladder here," said Eversource spokesman Mitch Gross. In addition to Capital and Housatonic, Eversource has a longstanding relationship with Naugatuck Valley Community College, Gross said. "Eversource has a network already developed to replenish our workforce in some ways," Gross said. "It's a great untapped opportunity, and I think we recognize that." Eversource in 2018 launched a natural gas field technician certificate program at Middlesex Community College. The program has since been put on hiatus because of shifting demand for that business. "Right now our gas business is changing and shifting," Driscoll said. "We're in a maintenance mode and maybe not necessarily in a growth mode." Harris said Capital and the state's other community colleges can be a resource for businesses that need qualified employees. The school also has a five-week intro to manufacturing training program in partnership with Eastford aerospace manufacturer Whitcraft. Capital is getting ready to launch another apprenticeship program with business consulting firm Accenture, Harris said. "I think that businesses and the state are really looking at our community college system as a key cog in the state's economic engine," Harris said. "We have an ability to get companies talent that meets their workforce needs." And for some students, the program gives a taste of potential career paths. "I was excited about the work itself, like I've always wanted to do it," Galain said. "It's a lot of responsibility, but I'm up for it." NMLS #402928 You manage your business.
