Along with the opportunity to compete nationally, the winner receives a trip for two and $500 in spending money.<\/p> <p>2026 Apprentice of the Year Competitors<\/p> <p>This year's competition featured four outstanding apprentices representing some of Atlanta's leading electrical contractors:<\/p> <ul> <li>Jacob Phillips, Valley View Enterprises, Inc.<\/li> <li>Tyler Brooks, ATS Electrical Enterprises, Inc.<\/li> <li>Jody Chembars, Silvermoon Electric<\/li> <li>TJ Mitchell, Capital City Electrical Services<\/li> <\/ul> <p>IEC Atlanta congratulates all competitors for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence in the electrical industry.<\/p> <p>Competition Results<\/p> <p>4th Place: Jody Chembars, Silvermoon Electric<\/p> <p>3rd Place: TJ Mitchell, Capital City Electrical Services<\/p> <p>2nd Place: Tyler Brooks, ATS Electrical Enterprises, Inc.<\/p> <p>1st Place and 2026 Apprentice of the Year: Jacob Phillips, Valley View Enterprises, Inc.<\/p> <p>As the top finisher, Jacob also received a backpack filled with professional tools donated by Southwire through its Top Gun Program.<\/p> <p>Recognizing Excellence<\/p> <p>In recognition of the contractor who employed and supported this year's winning apprentice, Durand Smith of Valley View Enterprises, Inc. was presented with the 2026 Contractor Cup, honoring the company's commitment to workforce development and apprenticeship training.<\/p> <p>IEC Atlanta also extends its sincere appreciation to Bethanie Bergman and Milwaukee Tool for providing gifts to each Apprentice of the Year contestant, helping make this year's competition a memorable experience for all participants.<\/p> <p>Additionally, IEC's Platinum Partner, Federated Insurance, continues its tradition of supporting apprentice excellence.
