Corey Hunt Launches Skilled Trades Commitment Pledge
Corey Hunt Lewiston
Lewiston, Maine electrician Corey Hunt announces a personal pledge to strengthen trades awareness, discipline, and workforce development across his community.
Lewiston, Maine - Master Electrician and Rocky Coast Electric owner Corey Hunt is launching a new personal initiative focused on rebuilding respect for skilled trades and strengthening workforce discipline in Maine.
After more than a decade in the electrical field - from solar installs in Massachusetts to union work across the United States - Hunt says the trades shortage is no longer a distant concern. It is visible on job sites every day.
"There's more work than people think," Corey Hunt says. "Most kids just aren't shown the path."
He believes the issue is not opportunity. It is awareness and exposure.
"I was just looking for guidance," he says. "The trades gave me direction."
Hunt's pledge centers on structured training, mentorship, and personal accountability - values that shaped his own path from helper to Master Electrician.
"You don't guess in this trade," he says. "You either know it or you don't."
Why This Matters Now
The skilled trades workforce faces measurable strain:
*
The U.S. is projected to face a shortage of hundreds of thousands of electricians over the next decade.
*
Maine has one of the oldest workforces in the country, with many licensed trades professionals nearing retirement.
*
Demand for electricians is rising due to solar expansion and electric vehicle charging infrastructure growth.
*
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects steady growth in electrical occupations through the coming years.
"The grid is changing," Hunt says. "Electricians have to stay ahead."
He believes Maine must act before the labor gap widens further.
The Corey Hunt Skilled Trades Commitment Pledge
Corey Hunt is committing to the following seven personal actions:
*
Host quarterly job-site observation days for high school students and young adults interested in electrical work.
*
Mentor at least one apprentice annually, providing structured guidance on licensing requirements and work discipline.
*
Partner with a local technical school to speak about real-world expectations in the trades.
*
Offer structured internship opportunities when business capacity allows.
*
Promote safety-first standards publicly, reinforcing licensing and code compliance education.
*
Commit to continuing education annually in solar, EV infrastructure, and evolving electrical standards.
*
Encourage faith, family, and responsibility conversations when mentoring younger workers.
"If you want responsibility, you have to prove you can handle it," Hunt says. "You still have to climb it one step at a time."
His pledge emphasizes skill before status.
"You don't rush growth," he says. "You build skill first."
Do-It-Yourself Toolkit: 10 Actions Anyone Can Take
This initiative does not require policy change or financial contributions. Hunt encourages individuals to act independently.
Parents can:
*
Visit a local technical school with their teen.
*
Encourage hands-on summer work.
*
Discuss apprenticeship paths as seriously as four-year colleges.
Young adults can: 4. Research Maine licensing requirements online. 5. Contact a local electrical company about shadowing opportunities. 6. Attend a local career fair focused on skilled trades.
Community members can: 7. Promote trades careers on social media. 8. Invite trades professionals to speak at schools. 9. Respect and recommend licensed professionals. 10. Learn basic home electrical safety practices.
"In this business, integrity matters," Hunt says. "Anybody can wire something. Not everyone stands behind it."
30-Day Progress Tracker
Hunt encourages participants to commit for 30 days.
Week 1 Research local apprenticeship programs Identify one trades career of interest
Week 2 Speak with one licensed trades professional Review local technical school options
Week 3 Attend or plan to attend a career fair Learn one new electrical safety standard
Week 4 Share trades information with one family member Identify next step (application, shadowing, training inquiry)
Consistency builds awareness. Awareness builds workforce strength.
Call to Action
Corey Hunt invites Maine residents to take the Skilled Trades Commitment Pledge this month.
Visit a local technical school. Speak to a licensed electrician. Share this toolkit with a family member.
Trades careers build homes, infrastructure, and energy systems. They also build families and local businesses.
"The path is there," Hunt says. "You just have to take the first step."
