As all applicants’ essays are valued and well-written, we will be quoting excerpts from each submission weekly on our website homepage (http://www.ibew.org/1stDistrict/) under ‘QUOTE OF THE WEEK’; so be sure to look for your family members ‘words of wisdom’ about the IBEW or unions in general.

In solidarity,
