FETA joins the Power Players

UK: FETA has announced its support for Power Players, a new Electrical Contractors’ Association initiative to showcase the success of young people within the building engineering services sector.

Aimed at the younger generation who have already made a positive impact in their careers, Power Players is a completely digital initiative with an array of prizes and opportunities on offer.

Young people from across the industry will be encouraged to send in a short self-nomination video, which highlights their excellence and/or innovation in particular areas of work (eg sustainability, training, diversity etc).

Following an online judging and voting process, shortlisted entries will be put forward for a public vote at the ED&I Expo at the NEC in September.

Russell Beattie, FETA chief executive, commented: “FETA is delighted to show its support for this important and worthwhile initiative. We are all aware of the skills shortages and recruitment challenges facing the industry and it’s vital that we draw attention to the young people who are making a real impact.”
