🌟 JAG Nebraska Student Spotlight | National Apprenticeship Week 🌟

Meet Pedro Zetino-Ramirez, a driven JAG Nebraska student gaining hands-on experience through an apprenticeship with Fremont Electric in Fremont, Nebraska! ⚡

🔧 Apprenticeship Experience
Pedro’s days start early as he heads to the job site, ready to learn from his journeyman and take on new challenges. From building boxes to wiring outlets, he quickly grew comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.

“The first couple of weeks weren’t too bad because I was still new and figuring out what everything was and where it went. It allowed me to learn at my own pace, ask questions and build confidence on the job.”

🤝 JAG Impact
“JAG has helped me with a bunch of things like interview prep, improving my confidence and communication skills.”
