‘Hylan Academy’ Recruits, Trains + Supports New, Existing Construction Employees

Hylan recently launched “Hylan Academy” as a direct response to the shortage of skilled utility construction workers across the United States. Hylan Academy aims to quickly and efficiently train construction workers in the complex utility builds that the company regularly undertakes, and will also support current field employees by offering cross training and career roadmaps. The curriculum is designed to support Hylan’s company vision and mission, which includes “building rewarding careers for our people.”

The Hylan Academy program model incorporates a grass roots, hands-on approach to employee development. The utility construction industry, much like any trade industry, requires skilled workers to perform the craft. This comes with various levels of success based on the mentorship and training abilities of those who come before us to hand down the qualities of productive workmanship.

Presently, there are two approved apprentice programs in Arizona, pending three additional approvals in the weeks to come. Hylan is also working with the Iowa State Apprenticeship Program for the rollout of five new programs upon securing its new office location in Iowa.
